KS4: Pornography; Pressures, Expectations and The Law

Our Key Stage 4 RSHE resource, Pornography; Pressures, Expectations and The Law, is designed to encourage young people to think critically about pornography, sex and relationships.

Drawing on the BBFC’s expertise in pornography regulation, this age-appropriate, two-lesson resource has been developed in collaboration with sexual health and wellbeing charity, Brook.

The two lessons are carefully mapped out, with detailed accompanying teacher guidance and notes, alongside clear objectives and learning outcomes tied to the curriculum. Both lesson plans also feature thought-provoking clips from popular films and TV shows, and come with a ‘What You Need To Know’ guide to support engagement with parents and caregivers.

Key topic areas include:

• Exposure of young people to online pornography
• Learning about sex through porn
• Body image, representation and consent
• How sexual attitudes, expectations and behaviours are impacted by porn
• Production and sharing of youth-produced sexual imagery.
