Home About Fair Play Workbooks

Nearly 2 million people a year in England and Wales experience domestic abuse, and many endure long-term harm from their experiences.

Each year around 2.1m people suffer some form of domestic abuse - 1.4 million women (8.5% of the population) and 700,000 men (4.5% of the population)

An estimated 4.6m women (28% of the adult population) have experienced domestic abuse at some point since the age of 16

A quarter of 13-18 year old girls report experiencing physical abuse in their own intimate partner relationships, and one-third sexual abuse

FAIR PLAY™ IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS HELPING
TO MEET THE GOVERNMENTS COMMITMENTS
AS LAID OUT IN THE 2019 DRAFT BILL

We have developed a new healthy relationship training tool called Fair Play™.

This new training tool is for primary and secondary schools, colleges, professional agencies and can also be used with children and young people with additional learning needs. Fair Play™ is an awareness raising and engagement tool in the form of an interactive board game, looking at key issues surrounding domestic abuse and understanding healthy relationships.

It is an engaging way to start a conversation about difficult issues in a non-threatening environment. This game has been designed to be used in schools, colleges, workshops, and other educational settings.

Fair PlayTM is designed to be accessible for a variety of ages as there are 2 versions, one for all ages including children over the age of 5, and one for secondary school age children and older.

VERSION 1

Fair Play™ is an excellent first introduction to topics of unhealthy relationships and red flags. Children are taught about privacy, which parts of their bodies are private, about acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, risks with accessing social media and keeping secrets, which can help children to express more easily if anything or anyone makes them feel uncomfortable or worse. Children are also asked to identify a trusted adult, so if they are worried about something, they know who they can turn to.

VERSION 2

Fair Play™ Secondary + is complex enough to help players learn about what is abuse, the prevalence of abuse, new legislation brought in to protect victims and also challenge peoples negative perceptions and attitudes.

Children are given information on the legal support available to them, as well as details of agencies they can contact.

SUBJECT AREAS COVERED BY FAIR PLAY™ INCLUDE

PHYSICAL ABUSE

SEXUAL ABUSE

EMOTIONAL ABUSE

FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION

FORCED MARRIAGE

‘HONOUR’ BASED VIOLENCE

CONSENT

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BEHAVIOURS IN RELATIONSHIPS

 If we can get all children to learn about domestic abuse and healthy relationships and achieve the above commented outcomes, we could reduce the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences and save lives.

WHO SHOULD PURCHASE FAIR PLAY™

Primary, secondary and further education teachers, staff and lecturers

Specialist PSHE staff

Professionals who work with children, families or communities affected by violence

Workers in charities involved with children, families or communities affected by domestic abuse and violence

Professionals who work in criminal justice, policing and youth offending services where violence is a particular focus

Community activists and victim-survivors who have an interest in the prevention and reduction of violence, and in interventions with those affected by it

 We have been piloting this tool for over 6 months with schools, colleges, at community events and holiday camps. We have also piloted the game with parents. The feedback has been exceptionally positive and children have made comments on what they have learned. Some of the comments made by the children are:

Playing this game, I learnt that it's okay to not keep secrets if they could cause trouble

I learnt that you can always go and talk to your parents about almost anything

I've learnt about what sexual abuse is and I've learnt how to keep myself safe This is very good for all genders, mostly girls

I learned that boys and girls have the same abilities

Learnt that grooming can start at different ages

I learnt who the Samaritans are

I learned how to be safe on social media

I learned about FGM

I learnt the new law on showing indecent images

I liked that it was fun. I learnt that if someone makes you angry, you just have to walk away from it and tell someone you trust
