In 2023 Safer Cornwall produced two campaigns to raise awareness of unhealthy relationships and behaviours amongst college and university level students. In addition to one KS2 primary level teaching resource to inform learning about healthy relationships.
With additional funding Safer Cornwall and Falmouth University have been able to reproduce these campaigns and make them available for colleges and youth groups nationwide.
Do Not Ignore The Signs
This campaign uses the classic iconography and visual impact of road signs to get messages across and raise awareness in campus environments of negative behaviours associated with unhealthy relationships. It encourages young people to both listen to and look out for each other using the tag line ‘friends often see the signs before you do’. Through using life size 3D signs around campus and desk top signs in classrooms the campaign is accompanied by posters, a series of animations and an online quiz which can be hosted on an institutional learning platform and used in classrooms or informal teaching environments to stimulate conversation and debate.

This campaign uses the concept of a playing card game to engage and encourage young people to open up and discuss the issues surrounding healthy and unhealthy relationships. It is accompanied by an extensive online quiz, which can be hosted on an institutional learning platform and used to explore a broad range of topics.

Three Brave Monkeys
In a world where relationships play a pivotal role in the life of every individual, teaching students how to navigate them safely and constructively becomes vital, this resource promises a better, more understanding future for our young learners.
The three wise monkeys from Japan stand as a symbol for the age-old principle: “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. This principle has been turned into a tool for building healthy relationships, as students are taught to
- ‘See’—observe behaviours and situations as they unfold;
- ‘Hear’—understand intentions and the tone behind words; and
- ‘Speak’—voice out feelings, set boundaries, and engage in open communication.
An engaging fortune teller tool has been created that presents various scenarios, encouraging students to employ the three monkeys as a response mechanism. By engaging with these scenarios, they prepare themselves to face both positive and negative situations in real life.
To complement this, Barnardo’s has curated a lesson plan that includes the cutting and making of the fortune teller.
