Schools have a responsibility to provide young people with the skills and information to recognise the signs of unhealthy relationships, and speak out against abuse, suggest Janette Porter and Kay Standing.

ADAM'S manipulative behaviour towards the women he likes in the Love Island villa prompted charity Women’s Aid to issue a statement asking viewers to join love interest Rosie in speaking out against unhealthy behaviours in relationships – especially gaslighting, a form of emotional abuse that makes someone question their own feelings, memories and version of reality.
