Grimsby play teaches schoolchildren about toxic relationships
The play aims to reduce levels of domestic abuse.
A play on toxic relationships has been helping secondary school children in Grimsby recognise red flags in a bid to reduce levels of domestic abuse.
The play 'It's Not Love' was designed by the NSPCC to help 11 to 14-year-olds recognise what behaviour is and is not acceptable, before they enter into adult relationships.
The NSPCC have also ran workshops alongside the play, taking the young people through real-life scenarios and asking them how they would act in relationship dilemmas.
Gail Sayles, NSPCC Local Campaign Manager said: "We're helping young people recognising positive and unhealthy relationship behaviour, making real-life choices but at a distance, because it can be difficult to talk about toxic relationships.
"The reaction we've had from schools, staff and pupils has been brilliant. The children have been so insightful."
As part of the NSPCC's healthy relationships campaign, teachers in North East Lincolnshire have been taking part in training to help them support children with the help of the charity's illustrated book, 'I am enough'.
Gail Sayles said: “This tour is not just a one off. We'll also be releasing a range of digital resources for teachers and professionals working with children and their families to access as part of our commitment to allow this campaign to have a lasting legacy in the region.”
