Educate Towards A Zero Tolerance Generation

We as a nation need to educate the younger generation of today on what a healthy relationship is therefore I ask that mandatory classes take place in schools to teach children what safe relationships are and how to recognise red flags.

Why is this important?

According to Action for Children as many as 1 in 5 children have been exposed to Domestic Abuse. How can we create a zero tolerance attitude towards Domestic Abuse if we do not educate tomorrow’s future on what a healthy relationship is. Many do grow up and go into healthy loving relationships but there are the forgotten child victims of Domestic Abuse that do not have the key knowledge or skills to break their Domestic Abuse Cycles. By teaching children young this may help children in a domestic abuse households recognise this is not normal, have confidence they are not alone and give them the courage to speak out!

Today's children will be tomorrow's judges, police officers, social workers, doctors most of which today need further education into domestic abuse and it's effects. By teaching children young we are laying a positive foundation for later understanding into domestic abuse.

How it will be delivered

I will email a monthly update to Tan Dhesi.
