In this session, Lucy Emmerson from the Sex Education Forum will take stock of the first three months of statutory RSHE. Drawing on the SEF’s extensive network of schools and PSHE experts, Lucy will look at what is going well, where the biggest challenges to delivery are, phase-specific issues for primary and secondary schools, and will offer practical advice based on lessons learned so far. Lucy will offer advice for schools at all points on their journey to high quality provision, including those who are still preparing to implement statutory RSHE.
