For many years, many schools delivering any kind of LGBT+ awareness work, were doing so as part of their PSHE or RSE programmes. Far too often, this was the single one hour of education on this topic that the student ever received. This kind of LGBT+ specific education is important, but what is equally important, is LGBT+ inclusive lessons, a sprinkling of LGBT+ people and lives through all curriculum areas.

The Rainbow Flag Award Classroom is a free set of LGBT+ inclusive lesson plans and resources, that link to the English national curriculum. Lessons have been written across all key stages and all curriculum areas, see below for samples.

'It's been a tough year'

This is when someone pressurises, forces or tricks someone else into doing anything sexual. This might be kissing, touching, sex or sending a nude photo.

Something can be sexual abuse whether it's happened in person or online.

Sometimes it can be hard to understand what's happened, but sexual abuse is never your fault. If you're worried, you can talk to us.

Find out more about sexual abuse.

This is when someone hurts or injures someone on purpose - including being slapped, punched or kicked. It might happen once, or many times.

Nobody has the right to hurt you, and physical abuse is never okay. You can talk to us about anything that might be happening.

Find out more about physical abuse.

It's not always easy to tell when something is emotional abuse. If someone is constantly putting someone down or making someone feel bad about themselves, that could be abuse.

Emotional abuse can include someone trying to scare, pressure, humiliate, criticise, isolate or threaten someone else. Or putting them into situations that make them feel scared or upset.

If you're not sure whether something is emotional abuse or if you're worried, it can help to talk about it.

Find out more about emotional abuse.

Relationships should always leave you feeling safe, respected and free to be yourself.

Relationship abuse is when someone feels controlled, bullied or scared in their relationship, and it's sometimes called domestic abuse.

Relationship abuse could be something in your relationship, or between your parents or carers. Whatever's happening, it's never okay for someone to make you feel unsafe or scared.

If you're being hurt, put down, or pressured into doing things in your relationship, it's important to get help. And you can talk to us about anything.

Find out more about healthy and unhealthy relationships.

This is when your basic needs aren't being met. This could be not having clothes that fit, not getting enough food or not having a place to live. It could also be when you're not getting the care you need at home, like if you're being left on your own a lot.

You don't have to cope alone, and you can talk to us if you're worried about anything.

Find out more about neglect.

It's never okay for someone to force or pressure you into doing something illegal. This could include stealing, or carrying weapons or drugs.

If you're worried about being pressured, or you want help with something that's happening, you can always speak to Childline for confidential support.

What is RSE Day?

RSE Day (which stands for Relationships and Sex Education) is an annual event that occurs on the last Thursday of June and encourages parents, teachers, carers and educators to talk openly about relationships and sex education with their children. It is about celebrating the role everyone has in Relationships and Sex Education including schools, families and communities - and it encourages children to talk about these positive topics openly.

When is RSE Day 2021?

RSE Day 2021 is on Thursday 24th June.

There is a different theme every year, and the theme for RSE Day 2021 was 'Faces'. This was a wonderful way to get the whole school community involved and allows the opportunity for people to share successes and good practice via social media. For example,

When did RSE Day start?

The first RSE Day was 28th June 2018. Due to the success of the first day, many more organisations are joining in every year to help build a bigger profile for the annual event across the country. This is an effective way for people to come together to create a safe and positive learning environment for young people.

Why is RSE Day important?

It is incredibly important to have good quality conversations about relationships and sex education all year round - but an annual RSE Day is a good start!

When children are comfortable talking about relationships and sex education, it had a very positive impact on their life. Good quality conversations about RSE helpto keep children safe, improves their communication, increases everyone's understanding of sex and relationships and improves their self-esteem and confidence.

There is also evidence to suggest that more communication around RSE helps to prevent domestic abuse and teaches children about consent .

Did You Know?

Research has shown that RSE is more effective when school or home are involved. So from September 2020, teaching about relationships and sex education is statutory in all schools!

How is RSE Day celebrated?

Schools and organisations set up events or special activities for children to take part in. The idea is to get children and young adults talking more openly about relationships, respect, love, trust, communication, resilience, co-operation and sex. Many schools clear the timetables of their students for this to have an entire day of activities and workshops surround RSE.

There are lots of things you can do this RSE Day - even things as simple as boosting communication amongst your own family about relationships and sex. Don't miss the free school's packs with 20 activities for Primary and Secondary settings a set of ideas for parents and carers to get involved with too. The ideas in the packs have been carefully selected to be enjoyable and safe, while still being responsive to Covid-19.

People also share their activities, events and progress on social media using hashtags like #RSEDay and #RSETogether. Why not share a book you love about love on the morning of RSE Day by posting your book selfie with these hashtags?

You can also follow @RSE_day for updates! An effective platform for you to share information and celebrate the incredible work that everyone is doing to support learning around healthy relationships and positive sexual health.

RSE Day 2021 can be a great opportunity for you to incorporate the themes and topics of relationships and sex education into your lessons and even at home. Here are some of our favourite relationships and sex education resources that you can try this RSE Day:

to identify people who help to keep us safe throughout the day

to identify situations that are safe and those where personal safety may be at risk.

Key stage 1: Theme 4a Safety - Strand One: Personal Understanding and Health

what to do or whom to seek help from when feeling unsafe

to develop simple safety rules and strategies to protect themselves from potentially dangerous situations.

Childnet has created a resource which is designed to support teachers in exploring critical thinking online.

The 'Trust Me' resource has been created with teachers in mind after hearing from schools that they wanted a resource which would start the conversations around extremism and extreme online content.

The main aim of this resource is to educate young people around inaccurate and pervasive information that they might come across online. This resource is by no means a solution to the issues that are facing young people online but is intended to stimulate and facilitate discussions around online risk.

Developed in partnership with the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) Safeguarding Board, the resource contains lesson plans for both primary and secondary level that aim to empower educators to discuss how to think critically around the areas of content, contact, and propaganda material that may seek to persuade or change their views.

We have also produced a set of teachers guidance which contains the appropriate background documents for schools and additional content to help you to deliver this resource to pupils. It will give you an overview of the relevant laws online and definitions to support you in answering any questions which may arise during these sessions.

We hope that teachers will adapt these packs to suit their pupils and have created all the content under a creative commons licence so any changes can be made so they fit the specific needs of each school.

Packs containing lesson plans, worksheets and guidance

Any feedback from using the resource would be greatly appreciated and can be shared here: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Trust-me
