This qualification will start to develop a learner’s understanding of what controlling and coercive behaviour might look like in any type of relationship but particularly those of young people.

This unit introduces learners to the signs and impact of controlling and coercive behaviour, with a focus on young people’s relationships. It explores how to recognise unhealthy behaviours, understand who may be vulnerable, and know how to respond safely. Learners will also gain practical tools to support themselves or others, helping to promote healthy, respectful relationships and emotional wellbeing.
