How this learning target compares
REAL leads with practised disposition. Three comparable frameworks lead with different things. For this learning target, here is how each one approaches the same ground — and where the divergences are.
RSHE addresses online safety from primary "how to recognise harmful content or harmful contact, and how to report this" [rshe-pilot-extracts §8] through to secondary content covering respectful online interactions, age restrictions, online abuse and bullying, and how to report concerns. [rshe-pilot-extracts §21] REAL's LT 8.3 covers similar safeguarding ground at Band B [real-framework-overview §74] and reaches Band F where digital life is treated as an expression of values — what the student engages with, creates, refuses — visible in how they behave online unprompted. [real-framework-overview §73]
Welsh CfW
leads with understandingHealthy relationships in CfW's WM5 run without a digital-specific subdivision. PS3 has learners communicate needs and feelings and identify conflict to resolve it; [cfw-pilot-extracts §15] PS5 reaches "meaningful connections with others, valuing safe, healthy and equitable relationships in a range of contexts". [cfw-pilot-extracts §16] REAL's LT 8.3 names digital settings explicitly — boundaries kept under pressure at Band D, online life carried as a values expression by Band F. [real-framework-overview §72, §73]
CASEL's Relationship Skills includes digital settings within general communication content: at G6–8, students "demonstrate positive communication skills, including interactions on social and digital media, and reflect on the potential impact on their reputation and relationships". [casel-pilot-extracts §24] REAL's LT 8.3 adds a sustained thread across platforms — at Band D, the student holds boundaries through social pressure; at Band F, digital life becomes the student's values made visible without performance. [real-framework-overview §72, §73]
This per-LT view is one of three lenses. The whole-framework essay sets each framework's centre of gravity; the by-theme view shows where overlaps and gaps cut across LTs.
