KS3 Safeguarding Reflection Sheets

Safeguarding Reflection Sheets is a practical collection of ready-to-use KS3 activities designed to encourage meaningful discussion, reflection and critical thinking around key safeguarding themes.

Created by me, a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL), each worksheet has been designed to support tutor time, PSHCE lessons, safeguarding sessions or intervention work, whilst making clear links to Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).

The activities are designed to take approximately 20–30 minutes, making them ideal as stand-alone tutor time or PSHCE tasks. However, each reflection sheet also contains opportunities for deeper discussion and extension, allowing them to be expanded into a full lesson if required.

This resource includes reflection activities on:

• Radicalisation
• Operation Encompass
• Misogyny
• Knife Crime
• Domestic Abuse
• Online Safety

Each reflection sheet encourages students to:

Reflect on real-life safeguarding scenarios.
Develop critical thinking and decision-making skills.
Consider how to keep themselves and others safe.
Explore trusted sources of support.
Build confidence in recognising safeguarding concerns and speaking up.
