Gender Based Violence – Keeping Mum Film and Primary School Teaching Resource
Keeping Mum
An educational film aimed at children in Primary 5-7 and the professionals who work with them on the impact of domestic abuse. Based on the play, Gold Stars and Dragon Marks (developed in 2008 by Baldy Bane Theatre with Scottish Government funding), the film was produced in 2018 with NHS Endowment funding. Keeping Mum, by Soundsmove Production, stars Still Game’s Mark Cox and Jane McCarry. It follows three children as they learn secrets about each other’s lives and negotiate the consequences of telling and not telling. It also looks at appropriate responses from parents/carers and professionals. The Keeping Mum video is complimented by a teacher support pack which includes a lesson for pupils to accompany the film and further supporting resources and information. Teacher twilight training on the resource is offered by Health Improvement.

Guidelines for Responding to Gender Based Violence in a Youth Setting
The Glasgow Violence against Women Partnership in collaboration with Health Improvement has developed Guidelines for responding to Gender Based Violence in a Youth Setting.
The Guidelines are supported by Equally Safe Young People (ESYP) training, delivered by Health Improvement. The guideline and training supports youth workers to understand gender based violence, to be able to address the underlying causes and to respond to disclosures from young people.
For Equally Safe Young People training dates, please see our Glasgow City Health Improvement Training Calendar.
