🔐 Personal & Cyber Safety – PSHE Drop Down Day: Don’t Take the Risk

For Secondary Students Aged 11–16

Don’t Take the Risk is an engaging curriculum day designed to enhance your PSHE and Citizenship provision, giving students the tools to think critically about real-world risks — both online and offline — in a way that’s interactive, hands-on, and thought-provoking. Empower your students to make safer choices and navigate both the online and offline world with confidence and awareness.

Alignment with New RSHE 2025 Requirements

This drop down day supports the updated RSHE curriculum in these important areas:

• Cyber Safety & Emerging Digital Risks – this session on cyber safety is ideally suited to explore these topics in an age-appropriate, digestible way—boosting critical digital literacy and resilience
• Tackling Harmful Norms & Promoting Positive Role Models – This day can create structured conversations around online misrepresentation, deepfake-driven myths, and gendered expectations—empowering students to critically assess such influences
• Safe, Sensitive Delivery & Thematic Sequencing – RSHE now calls for safe learning environments, careful topic sequencing, and the avoidance of fear-based approaches
• The updated RSHE guidance places new emphasis on personal safety that includes fire, road, water, and travel safety, alongside traditional safeguarding topics such as knife crime and conflict resolution – this day can directly address these—helping students recognise risks in diverse environments and respond safely.

Communication & Collaboration
Group tasks—like creating safety campaigns or digital toolkits—can strengthen teamwork, persuasive messaging, and peer-to-peer leadership.
Creativity & Innovation
Crafting safety materials (posters, videos, digital quizzes) encourages imaginative ways to convey vital messages to diverse audiences.
Resilience & Adaptability
Navigating unfamiliar, potentially uncomfortable topics around cyber risks or safety scenarios encourages emotional agility and perseverance.
Goal Setting & Project Planning
Structuring the day with clear objectives and deliverables (e.g., “By the end of the session, students will design a safety checklist or plan”) models planning, time management, and outcome orientation.

🕒 How to Run a LᴉfeFluent Drop Down Day

Duration:

🏫 Morning Assembly: 10 minutes
🧠 Core Sessions: Approx. 5 hours of activities and guided learning

Running a LᴉfeFluent day couldn’t be easier. Each session is led using our detailed presentation slides, Teacher Guidance Booklets, and step-by-step LᴉfeFluent Instruction Videos. These guide both the teacher and students through interactive, purposeful activities — all of which are recorded in the students’ personal Guidance Booklets.

It’s a ready-made experience that allows teachers to focus on delivery, not planning — and students to focus on learning in a fun, structured format.

👥 Class Sizes & Format
Our drop down days are flexible enough to run across:

A whole school, key stage, or single year group
With a recommended maximum of 30 students per classroom
Working in small collaborative groups of up to 5 students

We recommend starting the day with the Assembly video shown in a central space like a school hall. It’s a powerful way to build a sense of unity and clearly communicate the learning outcomes and purpose of the day ahead.
