Managing conflict
A webpage linked to the PD&MU curriculum that explores what conflict is, different types of conflict, examples of conflict and how conflict can be resolved.
This BBC Bitesize article explains what conflict is and about different types of conflict, such as ‘personal conflict’, ‘local conflict’ and ‘national and international conflict’, with specific examples for each.
There are also examples of conflicts that children might recognise in their own lives. Finally, the resource covers conflict resolution and encourages children to think of a time when you had to negotiate with a friend.
