A new practical guide to ‘Misogyny and the manosphere’, suitable for all teachers dealing with difficult questions in the classroom prompted by toxic influencers and the manosphere.  Produced in partnership with academics at the University of York studying the impact of the manosphere on schools, teachers and young people.

New lesson plans for KS2-KS5 as well an on-demand training course covering online financial harms (a feature of the new statutory RSHE guidance) such as fraud, scams, exploitation and extortion. Produced in partnership with the Child Financial Harms consortium – a group of leading experts researching the nature and impact of child financial harms, and providing educational solutions via the PSHE education curriculum.

A teacher briefing on ‘Addressing pornography through PSHE’ – based on research into the impact of pornography on young people, this guidance outlines the practicalities of addressing this and related issues effectively through the PSHE/RSHE curriculum.

A suite of Drug and Alcohol education lesson plans for KS1-KS5 which incorporate the latest evidence, information and statistics, along with additional content on vaping, synthetic drugs and more.

The PSHE Association also provides the PSHE education  Programme of Study for PSHE education (KS 1 – 5), which outlines what pupils should learn at each key stage in line with the RSHE statutory requirements. This will be updated in the autumn term to reflect the new guidance, alongside tools to audit current provision and identify gaps, and new guidance on the additional topic areas.

We’ve had a preliminary meeting with our Partners and a couple of things have come through from that:

Importance of the ‘guiding principles’ – it’s really valuable to have these in the guidance and using these in communications and decision-making will be important so that schools are supported to refer to these to help interpret other areas that may feel less clear cut / more complex.

Concerns re LGBT inclusion and teaching about gender diversity and that wording will discourage schools in this area. A small group of our Partners is going to explore this in more detail, and we will have more to say on this in due course. It’s possible that SEF and others will produce some share principles / further material to support schools with approaching this confidently

What are the benefits of a whole-school approach to Relationships, Sex and Health Education?

Many schools adopt a whole-school approach (WSA) to tackle a variety of issues that without intervention, can lead to educational disadvantages. Common WSA s include literacy, well-being and mental health but they all have similar features to ensure successful implementation. A WSA involves communication with all members of the school community from teachers to school leaders, and students and their families. Schools who have successfully embedded a WSA consider a number of ways to explicitly and implicitly address their WSA focus in order to make school a place for early intervention and prevention.

Implementing a whole-school approach to Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) can offer a range of benefits that extend beyond addressing statutory RSE topics in curriculum time. Here are some key advantages:

1. Supportive Learning Environment:

Embedded Throughout: A whole-school approach ensures that RSE is integrated into all aspects of school life including via cross-curricular links. This provides students with a comprehensive understanding of relationships and sex within a broader context and supports their learning of new topic knowledge whilst avoiding cognitive overload.

2. Enhanced Student Well-being:

Mental Health: A successful whole-school approach to RSE contributes to positive mental health outcomes by addressing issues related to self-esteem, body image, and emotional well-being, fostering a supportive and inclusive school culture.

3. Improved Relationships

Peer Relationships: RSE promotes healthy peer relationships, communication, and empathy, which can lead to a more positive social environment within the school and a health school culture.

4. Positive Behavior and Values:

Respect and Consent: A whole-school approach emphasises values such as respect and consent, fostering an environment where students understand and practice healthy relationship dynamics. A whole-school approach also allows for the incorporation of diverse perspectives and ensures that RSE is delivered in a culturally sensitive manner, promoting inclusivity.

5. Increased Attendance:

Engagement: A positive and supportive school culture that includes comprehensive RSE can contribute to increased student engagement within and outside of the subject. This can result in improved attendance rates as students feel confident and happy to attend school.

6. Staff Confidence and Wellbeing:

Professional Development: A whole-school approach to RSE involves training and support for staff, enhancing their confidence in delivering RSE content and responding to students' questions and concerns. Improved school culture is positive for staff who have fewer challenges related to behavour and feel able to challenge harmful behaviours in a confident way.

8. Parental Engagement:

Community Involvement: A whole-school approach includes engaging parents in the RSE curriculum, fostering open communication between the school and families and creating a collaborative approach to supporting students.

9. Ofsted compliant:

Meeting Curriculum Standards: Adopting a whole-school approach ensures that the school is meeting Ofsted's statutory requirements for RSE. It also supports evidence of other areas of Ofsted's framework such as Personal Development and safeguarding.

10. Lifelong Skills:

Empowerment: RSE equips students with lifelong skills, such as communication, decision-making, and critical thinking, that go beyond the classroom and prepare them for adulthood.

11. Safeguarding

Student well-being: A whole-school approach to RSE plays a crucial role in supporting safeguarding efforts through equipping students with the confidence and vocabulary to report issues should they arise by promoting open and honest communication between students, teachers, and support staff. A successful RSE curriculum can empower students to recognise and resist inappropriate behavior, reducing the risk of exploitation and abuse.

In summary, it's crucial that schools consider the link between keeping children safe in education and a WSA to RSE. The prioritisation of RSE as a subject is a barrier that many schools are still working to address and a WSA to RSE ensures that all members of the school community are working together to embed healthy attitudes towards relationships into the school environment.
