17 of the 34 modules are safeguarding flagged. Each is listed below with the statutory ground it stands on and the note its teachers receive before teaching. Two standing rules across every module: content is age appropriate and never graphic, and the platform records no disclosures, so every concern follows your school’s own reporting systems.
The PSHE Association advises linking your safeguarding policy explicitly to the RSHE curriculum under the renewed Ofsted framework. This page is written to be that link: file it or reference it from the policy.
Type your safeguarding lead, their deputy, how a concern is recorded here and the title of your policy. They print at the top of this page and of every staff briefing, so the copy you file is your school’s own. Print it without them and the top of the page has lines to write them in.

Statutory ground: RSHE health and wellbeing · EfCW
The note teachers receive: This lesson invites children to name bad feelings linked to screens and repeatedly tells them they are never in trouble for telling. That framing can surface disclosures about frightening content, unkind messages or contact online. If a child discloses during the lesson or worksheet, listen calmly, thank them for telling, do not promise secrecy, and follow the school safeguarding policy. Log any concern on the school concern form.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (online safety and awareness, caution about sharing information about themselves online) · RSHE 2026 (being safe, the concept of privacy) · EfCW privacy and security, early years to 7 · EfCW online reputation, early years to 7
The note teachers receive: This lesson teaches children to tell a grown up if someone online asks for their private information or shares a photo of them, so a child may disclose contact from someone they do not know, a request for their address or photos, or a photo shared without consent. Listen calmly, thank them, do not ask leading questions or promise secrecy, and follow your school safeguarding policy the same day. Contact from an unknown adult asking a child for personal information or photos should always go to the DSL.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (online safety and awareness, respectful online interactions and the risks of people they have never met) · RSHE 2026 (being safe, responding to adults they do and do not know, including online) · EfCW online relationships, early years to 7 · EfCW self image and identity, early years to 7
The note teachers receive: This lesson is about contact online and asks children to tell a trusted grown up if someone they do not know chats to them or asks for a secret, so disclosures are likely. If a child describes contact from someone they do not know, especially a request for secrecy, photos, where they live or to meet, listen calmly, thank them, do not ask leading questions or promise secrecy, and follow your school safeguarding policy the same day. Any report of an adult contacting a child online goes to the DSL, who may consider a report to CEOP.
Statutory ground: EfCW privacy and reputation
The note teachers receive: The group chat scenario can surface real disclosures: a pupil may say someone online has asked them for photos or personal details, or that they have already shared something they regret. Reassure first, you are not in trouble and you did the right thing telling me, then follow your school safeguarding policy and log the concern the same day. Do not investigate the chat yourself or ask the pupil to show you the messages beyond what they volunteer.
Statutory ground: RSHE · Anti bullying (Ofsted)
The note teachers receive: This lesson can surface live situations: pupils currently being bullied, pupils recognising their own behaviour, and pupils carrying a friend's secret. Watch the friend dilemma discussion, the exit cards and the mission sheets, as written disclosures sometimes arrive where spoken ones cannot. Any disclosure of bullying, online or offline, follows the school safeguarding and anti bullying policy and is logged with the DSL the same day. No pupil should leave the lesson believing they are in trouble for telling.
Statutory ground: KCSIE 2026 (AI simulating harmful interaction as a contact risk) · RSHE 2026 (online relationships, being safe)
The note teachers receive: This lesson covers machines that talk like a friend, which KCSIE 2026 treats as a CONTACT risk where the system simulates harmful interaction, in force from 1 September 2026. At this age children meet these inside games and assistants rather than as named companion apps. One made up message in cycle three shows a helper asking a child to keep a secret from a parent, and the teacher says plainly that this goes to a grown up. Children may disclose that something asked them for a secret, asked for a photo, or said something that worried them, during the lesson, in written answers, or in the days after. Treat any disclosure under your safeguarding policy and bring it to the DSL the same day, reassuring the child first that they are not in trouble and that nothing is being taken away. Nobody is asked to disclose anything and no child is asked whether they use one. This platform records no disclosures: nothing children say or write here is stored by Guided Childhood, so the teacher's note and the paper worksheets are the record.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (online safety and awareness, technology used in bullying, harassment, stalking and coercive control) · RSHE 2026 (wellbeing online, identifying harmful behaviours and how to report them) · RSHE 2026 (respectful relationships, types of bullying and the bystander) · KCSIE 2026 para 165 conduct (online bullying) and para 160 (recognising and reporting an abusive relationship, including coercive and controlling behaviour)
The note teachers receive: Safeguarding flagged, and the likeliest disclosure point in the whole scheme. Three moments carry the highest chance: the five message scenario, the coercive control choice that follows it, and the closing line telling pupils to speak to someone before the bell, which is written to prompt exactly that. Handle any disclosure under your own safeguarding policy and bring it to the DSL the same day. Two specifics worth knowing. A pupil describing a partner or friend monitoring their location, messages or contacts is describing coercive control, and KCSIE 2026 names it at paragraph 160 as something preventative education should cover, which means a pupil naming it is doing what the curriculum asked of them. A pupil disclosing that they have been doing it needs the same day response and the same care, because a young person who comes forward about their own behaviour is the best chance of it stopping. Stand by the door at the end of the lesson.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (wellbeing online, the serious risks of viewing content that promotes self harm, suicide or violence, including how to safely report it and how to access support after viewing it) · RSHE 2026 (wellbeing online, the risks of illegal behaviours online, including drug and knife supply and the sale or purchase of illicit drugs) · KCSIE 2026 para 165 content (self harm, suicide, extreme sexual or physical violence) and contact (adults seeking to engage a child for a criminal purpose)
The note teachers receive: Safeguarding flagged, and alongside the KS3 conflict lesson this is the likeliest disclosure point in the scheme. Read your own school's process before teaching it and have the safeguarding lead's name ready. Four moments carry the highest chance of a disclosure, and all four are written to invite one safely rather than to force it: the slide stating that nobody is in trouble for having seen something, the message exchange about not being able to stop seeing it, the slide about a young person already in drug supply being treated as exploited, and the practise question about having told nobody for two weeks. Handle any disclosure under your own policy and bring it to the DSL the same day. Three specifics. A pupil describing repeated involuntary re seeing, sleep loss or persistent distress after viewing material needs a same day conversation, not a wait and see. A pupil who discloses that they are carrying, storing or selling for somebody is describing child criminal exploitation, which KCSIE 2026 treats as a form of abuse, so it is a safeguarding matter rather than a behaviour one whatever else is also true. Note the routing, because getting it wrong costs time at the worst moment: a school is not a first responder for the National Referral Mechanism and a teacher cannot make that referral. It goes to you, and from you to children's social care or the police, who can. A child does not have to consent to being referred. And a pupil disclosing their own self harm or thoughts of suicide during or after this lesson follows your policy immediately, without a promise of confidentiality being given first. Stand by the door at the end of the lesson.
Statutory ground: RSHE mental health
The note teachers receive: This lesson invites pupils to notice and talk honestly about their own mood. Most answers will be everyday ones, but the honesty can surface more: if a pupil discloses persistent low mood, or their worksheet or exit card raises concern, follow your school safeguarding policy and speak to your DSL. Do not promise confidentiality, do respond warmly: thank you for telling me, you are not in trouble.
Statutory ground: EfCW · Online Safety Act education duty
The note teachers receive: Workaround and group chat conversations can surface live disclosures: pupils in large chats with adults they do not know, unwanted contact from strangers, or accounts already running on false ages. The lesson deliberately promises that nobody confesses anything, so treat any voluntary disclosure with care and never in front of the class. If a pupil discloses concerning contact or content, follow your school safeguarding policy and log it with the DSL the same day. The pupil is not in trouble, and should hear that first.
Statutory ground: KCSIE 2026 content risks · Citizenship media literacy · DfE AI in education · RSHE 2026 (deepfakes statutory at KS3/4 from Sep 2026)
The note teachers receive: KCSIE 2026 keeps misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories named as content harms. A pupil may disclose distress about something they have seen or shared. Follow your school safeguarding policy and record in your school system. This platform does not record disclosures.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (body image, pornography)
The note teachers receive: This lesson covers body image and includes a brief, non graphic acknowledgement that some pupils will have seen pornography. Pupils may disclose body image distress, possible disordered eating, or exposure to pornography during the lesson, in written worksheet answers, or in the days afterwards. Treat any such disclosure under your school safeguarding policy and bring it to the DSL, reassuring the pupil first that they are not in trouble. This platform records no disclosures: nothing pupils say or write in this lesson is stored by Guided Childhood, so the teacher's own note and the paper worksheets are the record.
Statutory ground: KCSIE 2026 (AI simulating harmful interaction as a contact risk) · RSHE 2026 (online relationships, mental wellbeing)
The note teachers receive: This lesson covers AI companion apps, which KCSIE 2026 treats as a CONTACT risk where the system simulates harmful interaction, in force from 1 September 2026. One invented transcript in cycle three shows an app agreeing to keep a serious disclosure secret, and the teacher says plainly that a person should know. Pupils may disclose reliance on a companion app, something they have typed to one, or a friend's reliance, during the lesson, in written answers, or in the days after. Treat any such disclosure under your safeguarding policy and bring it to the DSL the same day, reassuring the pupil first that they are not in trouble and that nothing is being taken away. Nobody is asked to disclose anything in the lesson and no pupil is asked whether they use one. This platform records no disclosures: nothing pupils say or write here is stored by Guided Childhood, so the teacher's own note and the paper worksheets are the record.
Statutory ground: RSHE 2026 (wellbeing online, the risks related to online gambling and gambling like content within gaming, including the accumulation of debt) · RSHE 2026 (mental wellbeing, that gambling can lead to serious mental health harms including anxiety, depression and suicide, and that some products are more likely to cause these harms than others) · KCSIE 2026 para 165 commerce (risks such as online gambling) and para 160 (preventative education)
The note teachers receive: Safeguarding flagged, and the disclosures this lesson prompts are usually about somebody else rather than about the pupil. Gambling harm in a household is a safeguarding matter: it can mean money going missing, meals not happening, a parent absent or unpredictable, and a child carrying a secret they have been told to keep. A pupil describing any of that is describing neglect or emotional harm and it goes to the DSL the same day under your own policy. Two moments carry the highest chance: the slide on what gambling harm does to a person, which is written quietly for exactly that reason, and the sorting card about breaking a promise to yourself, which is the only card that describes a person rather than a product. Debt is the other route. A pupil who owes money, to a person or to an app, may be being exploited by whoever they owe it to, and that is a criminal exploitation concern rather than a money one. Do not ask the class any question that requires a pupil to disclose. Stand near the door at the end of the lesson.
Statutory ground: RSHE · UK law on under 18 images
The note teachers receive: This module covers consent, indecent images of under 18s and coercion, and may prompt disclosures during or after the lesson, including image sharing that has already happened, ongoing pressure, or threats such as demands backed by a threat to share. Teachers have been briefed to listen calmly, never promise secrecy, and follow the school safeguarding policy, passing any disclosure to the DSL the same day. Pupils are signposted throughout to Report Remove (Childline and the Internet Watch Foundation) for confidential removal of images of under 18s, and to Childline on 0800 1111, with the consistent message that they are not in trouble and it is not their fault. The platform records no disclosures and stores no pupil responses from this lesson: all worksheet and exit quiz work is on paper and handled inside school. If a threat to share images is disclosed, treat it as potential sextortion: the NCA alert directs the DSL to refer it to the police and/or children's social care. Do not view or ask to see any image, and ask the pupil not to delete messages, because they may be evidence.
Statutory ground: RSHE · Safeguarding (KCSIE)
The note teachers receive: Brief the DSL before this lesson is delivered, not after. Disclosures are likely, during the lesson, at the door afterwards, or days later to any trusted adult, often framed as asking for a friend. Treat any hint as a disclosure and involve the DSL the same day. Never ask a pupil to show, send or forward the image, and do not view it if offered: UKCIS advice is that staff must not intentionally view it, and copying, saving or sharing it is illegal. Base your response on what the pupil tells you about it. Do not screenshot anything, do not investigate on the pupil's device, and do not contact the blackmailing account. Reassure the pupil in plain words that they are not in trouble and it is not their fault, and do not promise confidentiality. The platform records no disclosures by design, so use the school concern form linked from this module for anything raised. Normalise a quiet exit route at the start of the lesson and have an adult check on anyone who uses it. Where a case is live, the DSL refers it straight away to the police and/or children's social care through your safeguarding procedures, as the NCA alert directs, and the pupil is supported to use Report Remove, preserving messages as evidence. Expect the lesson itself to surface historic cases as well as current ones, and pass on low level concerns too, including pupils who seem unusually affected, hang back, or go quiet.
Statutory ground: Prevent · KCSIE · RSHE (misogyny)
The note teachers receive: The Prevent duty applies to this module. If a pupil discloses contact with extremist content, groups or individuals, or expresses views that concern staff during or after the lesson, follow the school's Prevent and safeguarding procedures the same day: stay calm, do not debate the pupil publicly, record what was said and refer to the DSL, who decides on next steps including local authority Prevent or Channel referral where appropriate. KCSIE 2026 names misogyny within child on child abuse and harassment (paragraphs 23, 34 and 193) and misogynistic influencers among the online harms schools teach about (paragraph 160), and the RSHE guidance names so called incels, so treat sustained hostile views towards women and girls as a safeguarding matter, not only a behaviour matter. The platform records no disclosures: nothing pupils say or write in this lesson is stored by Guided Childhood, so staff notes and the school's own reporting routes are the only record.
