P1T Module 3: Exploitation and Vulnerable Situations – assessment scenarios (3)

Scenario 3 

You have just taught a PSHE lesson from the scheme of work focusing on several of the important fundamental values of the UK with a Year 9 class. The lesson objectives were to discuss the reasons why mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs are important values of the UK. You are concerned about two pupils during the discussion who were unwilling to discuss their own opinions and views. After the lesson, when you were marking their work, you became even more concerned with what they wrote. Both pupils included what they had read online that was clearly against mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs and they made it clear that they believed what they read. 

What are the signs in this scenario informing you about what may be happening with these two pupils? In your answer write down the signs given in the scenario and link to one potential safeguarding concern.
