C8
Would You Know What to Do?
You will learn to
- Transfer learning to a complex unfamiliar case.
- Revise judgement when evidence changes.
- Justify a safer proportionate next step.
Book and story connection
The final assessment is wholly new and cannot be passed by remembering the book plot.
Important: fiction creates safe distance and insight. It is not evidence of prevalence.

Audience, time and preparation
Prepare
Audience: Core, ages 13–15. Learner time 55–60 minutes; facilitated time may include discussion and pauses.
Prior learning: Foundation choice, evidence and safer-help principles.
Resources: This online lesson, a projector or individual device, optional printed scenario cards, a private question route and the current Help page. Every selection activity has a non-drag alternative.
Before you teach: Establish a no-disclosure climate, confirm the school safeguarding route and DSL readiness, explain confidentiality boundaries, and ensure nobody contacts or mediates with family where forced-marriage risk is suspected.
Teach
Purpose: Assess genuine transfer across Core learning.
Opening baseline: Which description is most accurate?
Ask: What is known, unknown, assumed and safest now?
Listen for: Evidence weighting, coercion, uncertainty, changed judgement and no unsafe family contact.
Four distinct activities: baseline, explanatory teaching, application practice, changed-information reassessment and novel transfer.
Respond
Misconception: Proof is required before safeguarding, or one clue proves the whole case.
Explanatory correction: Route repeated misconceptions back to the relevant teaching unit, then use a fresh example.
Protect
Safeguarding: No personal disclosure or identifying case comparison.
Avoid: Competitive scores or public ranking.
Disclosure response: Thank you for telling me. I’m going to take what you’ve said seriously. I can’t promise secrecy if somebody may be unsafe. I will share only with people who need to help keep you safe.
Adapt & assess
SEND/EAL and reduced-text: Reveal evidence in short stages; offer a reduced-text case and oral rationale.
Stretch: Ask what counter-evidence would justify changing the view again.
Evidence of learning: Emerging identifies ideas; Secure applies safer action; Deep revises with evidence and acknowledges limits.
Assessment: Emerging identifies relevant ideas; Secure applies evidence and safer help with a reason; Deep acknowledges ambiguity and revises proportionately.
