In this emotionally complex KS4 PSHE lesson, students reflect on the fallout of violence from the perspective of the perpetrator’s family. Based on Adolescence (Episode 4, Part 2), the lesson follows Jamie’s father as he struggles to cope with grief, shame, and public harassment following his son’s arrest.

Titled You Can’t Wash It Away, this lesson encourages students to explore how guilt, denial, and powerlessness manifest in families after tragedy. Through a Socratic Circle discussion, students examine the symbolism of the father trying to remove graffiti from his van, his confrontation with the public, and the emotional weight carried by every family member. Themes of control, masculinity, justice, and grief take centre stage.

Key Themes Explored in this lesson:

  • Community judgment and shame
  • Parental guilt and emotional regulation
  • Masculinity and emotional suppression
  • Public vs private grief
  • Justice, responsibility, and empathy

What’s included:

  • Full lesson presentation
  • Starter and exit task
  • Clear learning objectives
  • Socratic discussion format guidance

  • Comprehensive episode summaries
  • Vocabulary lists and definitions
  • Safeguarding and trigger notes
