These PSHE Association Quality Mark resources address forced marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM) for Key Stages 3 and 4. Access to the FGM pack is immediate; the forced-marriage pack can be requested directly from Freedom.
Read either complete lesson pack below without leaving Freedom’s website. The original PDF downloads are also provided for lesson preparation.
Important: check current safeguarding contacts before teaching. The established PSHE Association Quality Mark packs were produced in an earlier edition and some statistics or contact details within the downloadable PDFs may have changed. Use Freedom’s current helpline page and GOV.UK forced-marriage guidance for current contact routes and statutory information.
