Relationships and Sex Education Summary of Proposed Guidance on Compulsory Relationships, Sex and Health Education In July 2018, the Department of Education produced their draft guidance on Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. It contains the proposed legal duties that schools must comply with from September 2020. The draft guidance was published in July 2018 with a consultation process running until the 7th November 2018.

From September 2020 Relationships Education will be compulsory in all primary schools in England and Relationships and Sex education (RSE) in all secondary schools. This means ALL schools; maintained, non-maintained or independent including all academies and free schools, maintained and non-maintained special schools and alternative provision.

The Department for Education are seeking views on the draft regulations, statutory guidance, and regulatory impact assessment relating to Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. Please give your views at https://consult.education.gov.uk/pshe/relationships-education-rse-health-education/ Closes 7th Nov 2018

Health Education will not be compulsory in independent schools however PSHE will be. The statutory requirements do not apply to sixth form colleges, 16-19 academies or FE colleges although they are encouraged to offer RSE and Health Education

The overall aim is to have compulsory subject content that supports children and young people to know how to stay safe and healthy and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. It is to support the schools wider work to help foster pupil wellbeing and develop resilience and virtues that support them to be happy, successful and productive members of society. There is a big emphasis on schools recognising that many children and young people are living a substantial proportion of their life online and how this may affect what and how we teach. Parents/carers have the right to request to withdraw pupils from sex education but not relationships education. Schools will be told what they need to teach but given the flexibility to shape their curriculum to meet their pupils needs by ensuring it is age-appropriate and taught sensitively and inclusively.

The primary school focus is on healthy, respectful relationships focusing on family and relationships both on and offline and the basics of how to be healthy. In secondary schools this is built on by further developing the pupils’ understanding of health and more focus on risk areas such as drugs and alcohol as well as introducing knowledge about intimate relationships and sex. Teaching about mental health runs through all the subjects.

All schools must have a written policy for Relationships Education and RSE that has been written and reviewed in consultation with parents. The religious background of all pupils must be taken into account when planning teaching, complying with the Equality Act (2010). In all schools teaching should reflect the law as it applies to relationships. The teaching must be accessible for all pupils whatever their needs and abilities. Schools are free to determine how they address LGBT specific content however the DoE recommends that it is integral throughout the programmes of study. The topics can be taught through a timetabled PSHE programme or another different curricular model of delivery.

Schools will be asked to demonstrate effective practice with strong ownership of the subjects by having a dedicated senior leader and teacher with dedicated time to lead the specialist provision. All of the subjects should be set in the context of a wider whole-school approach to supporting pupils to be safe, happy and prepared for life beyond school. At the heart of these subjects is a focus on keeping children safe through preventative education, good safeguarding practices and including DSLs in the planning for the subjects. Key aspects of Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education are in scope for Ofsted inspection. Schools need to consider when extra support / teaching may be needed for more vulnerable pupils. 14. The teaching must be accessible for all pupils whatever their needs and abilities.
