Charlie Kirk Tutor Time Response

Description:

This ready-to-use PowerPoint assembly / form-time resource explores the recent Charlie Kirk shooting and helps pupils reflect on key themes such as free speech, tolerance, mutual respect, British Values, and online safety. The resource guides students through who Charlie Kirk was, why some online reactions have been unsympathetic, and why violence is never an acceptable response to disagreement.
A strong focus is given to digital wellbeing, including why pupils should avoid watching or sharing videos of violent events online, and how such content can negatively affect mental health. The resource supports schools in addressing sensitive news stories responsibly, while reinforcing PSHE, SMSC, and British Values.
