A deepfakes discussion lesson for KS4 PSHE, RSE and tutor time. CROSSROADS gives students a realistic situation and four possible responses, and they choose before any discussion, so they think for themselves rather than follow the room.

There are no correct answers, and every path carries a cost.

Topics explored: face swaps, nudify apps, fake nudes, consent, bystanders, keeping secrets, “it’s just a joke”.

What’s included:
Six scenarios, each with three slides: the situation, the choices, and a discussion grid with fallout questions and a reflection prompt
Editable slides, with speaker notes on every slide and an editable help slide for your school’s contacts
Voting cards (A/B/C/D) for the reveal
Teacher Quick Reference with facilitation guidance, safeguarding notes and a short summary of the law on deepfakes in England and Wales

Designed for: PSHE / RSE / Tutor time / Online safety / Digital literacy

Supports the RSHE 2026 guidance on AI and deepfakes.
