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.
