Join the Department for Education (DfE) and subject experts for a series of three 90-minute webinars on Wednesday 2, 9 and 16 March, all starting at 4pm, to support high-quality delivery of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE). The webinars will focus on three important topics: domestic abuse, pornography and sexual exploitation.
The DfE wants to support teachers to tackle the serious issues raised by the 'Everyone's Invited' website and Ofsted's review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges.
The RSHE curriculum provides an excellent vehicle to create a whole-school culture change and promote pupils' safety and well-being. The knowledge pupils will gain from RSHE will support their own, and others' well-being, and help them build positive and safe relationships.
These events will provide an opportunity for teachers, teaching assistants, designated safeguarding leads, SENCOs and PSHE leads in schools and local authorities to hear from experts who will share their knowledge and experience of delivering these sensitive topics in the classroom.
Speakers include:
- Nicole Jacobs, Domestic Abuse Commissioner
- Nanya Coles, SafeLives – Nanya is the Safe Young Lives Programme Lead who works to understand, design and develop learning and interventions which are informed by the voice and experiences of young people
- Dr Elly Hanson, a clinical psychologist and researcher with expertise on pornography and the psychological underpinning of RSHE pedagogy
- The Safer Young Lives Research Centre at University of Bedfordshire
- The PSHE Association – the national association for PSHE/RSHE professionals
