6. If you’re seeing unhealthy signs or #redflags, know that:
🧡 there is help
🧡 you deserve support
🧡 relationship abuse is NEVER your fault.
Find more support options on our website https://lmkletmeknow.org/get-help/
5. When behaviour is unhealthy or abusive 🚩 it’s really important to recognise this for what it is and to get support to end a relationship safely. @brookcharity also have advice on this https://www.brook.org.uk/your-life/abuse-getting-help/
4. You might choose not to start, or to end, a relationship if something is a turn off. Our friends at @brookcharity have advice on deciding whether to end a relationship: https://www.brook.org.uk/your-life/breaking-up/
3.
🚩Red flag = unhealthy/abusive/alarm bells ringing
🫤 Turn off = off-putting/embarrassing/personal preference.
Both are valid but very different.
2. A turn off is something you might find off-putting or embarrassing. It’s a personal preference and doesn’t always make sense, e.g. you don’t like someone wearing socks in bed (just an example – we have nothing against socks in bed 🧦). It’s not a sign of abuse.
1. A red flag is a sign of unhealthy behaviour. Something that is, or has the potential to be, abusive. It should ring alarm bells. Read about our 10 unhealthy relationship signs > https://lmkletmeknow.org/unhealthy-relationships/
❤️🏝️Some of the discussion we heard on #LoveIsland Unseen Bits seemed to confuse red flags 🚩 and turn offs 🫤.
It’s important to understand that these are two different things. A short thread🧵
In December, we delivered our inclusive module at the @rootshoot programme, which supports young people who’ve had difficulty coping in the traditional education system. This module aims to keep young people who may sometimes be more vulnerable safe in their relationships.
Our programme manager Shelly was delighted to attend the launch of @ShpresaPrograme’s new leadership project yesterday. We’re really inspired and looking forward to working with them!
Great feedback for the event of launching our newest Leadership project last night

🏝️ 👀 Will you be watching the new season of #LoveIsland tonight? Shows like this have a massive influence so it’s important to be informed and to recognise unhealthy or abusive behaviour for what it is. Abusive behaviour must not be normalised. Use our 10 signs to guide you 👇
Utterly abhorrent news today of a serving police officer who has now admitted committing 49 offences including 24 rapes. @RefugeCharity is here for you if you need support. Call our 24 hour helpline on 0808 2000 247 https://twitter.com/RefugeCharity/status/1614946809587138560
The crimes that #MetPolice officer David Carrick has admitted to committing are utterly abhorrent
When a man who has been charged with 49 offences, including 24 charges of rape, is a serving police officer, how can women and girls possibly be – or feel – safe.
Great to see @tes covering this and so inspiring to see how teachers are tackling this 👏
I’ve used the recent @tes article to create this 10 min Andrew Tate PPT for use in form time next week. We go into much more detail in our spiralled PSHE SOW but it’s important to continue the conversation. Let me know if you’d like a copy ✅
It was fantastic to be a part of this day! Our leaders don’t ‘tell’, they open and support conversations, and it was wonderful to see the students engaging with the issues, coming to important realisations and growing in skills and confidence 👏
We were delighted to welcome experts from so many leading organisations to PSHCE Day yesterday, helping students to reflect on range of vital issues. Thank you to @Humanutopia @ItmakesSNS @SplitBananaaa @LMKletmeknow @Beyond_Equality @FirstGiveUK @UKProResiliance @EastsideLondon
