Providing the foundation skills of the primary curriculum to support future secondary curriculum teaching on abusive behaviours and safeguarding concerns. The Learning for Life project is built to acknowledge the vulnerability of our community and provide them with key skills to keep themselves safe and seek help when necessary.

Using clear teaching and strategies, this series will help learners to understand a range of issues, from the diversity of families to knowing when behaviour within families is unsafe.

Supported by downloadable worksheets and resources, this understanding will develop strategies to seek help from trusted adults.

Learning for Life is a project run by the charity Learn and Thrive. This project provides extensive teaching for young people with Down’s syndrome and other SEND based on the primary RSE and Health Education Curriculum.
