6. The National Picture - RSE
All Schools to Teach 21st Century Relationships and Sex Education & PSHE
The government is proposing a new subject of ‘relationships education’ in primary school to emphasise the central importance of healthy relationships.
The focus in primary school will be on building healthy relationships and staying safe.
Department for Education (DfE) set out content on RSE which will focus on mental wellbeing, consent, resilience, age-appropriate relationships and sex education, and keeping safe online.
Fully functioning by Schools should start implementing from 2018
;c)requiring proprietors of schools to make statements of policy in relation to the education to be provided, and to make the statements available to parents or other persons;
(d)about the circumstances in which a pupil (or a pupil below a specified age) is to be excused from receiving relationships and sex education or specified elements of that education.
when relationships education or relationships and sex education is given—
(a)the pupils learn about—
(i)safety in forming and maintaining relationships,
(ii)the characteristics of healthy relationships, and
(iii)how relationships may affect physical and mental health and well-being, and
(b)the education is appropriate having regard to the age and the religious background of the pupils.
(4)The regulations may make further provision in connection with the provision of relationships education, or relationships and sex education.
(5)Before making the regulations, the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(6)The regulations may amend any provision (including provision conferring powers) that is made by or under—
(f)the Academies Act 2010.

7. Emphasis of Relationships
DfE will publish revised guidance in academic year 2017/18 but will be shaped by an emphasis on:
safety in forming and maintaining relationships
the characteristics of healthy relationships
how relationships may affect physical and mental health and wellbeing
the education is appropriate having regard to the age and the religious background of the pupils.

8. The National Picture – Healthy Rating Scheme
The DfE launched a tender in early 2017 for the development and delivery of a national “healthy schools rating scheme”. To help encourage schools to recognise and prioritise their roles in supporting children to develop a healthy lifestyle.
The scheme should promote a ‘whole school’ approach to achieving positive health and education outcomes covering a) healthy eating, b) physical activity and c) emotional health and wellbeing.

9. The National Picture – Healthy Rating Scheme
1. An online platform for self-assessment across the three core themes
2. Free online resources
3. Involvement and feedback from parents, guardians and carers;
4. An outcome evidence which schools can present to Ofsted in standard school inspections.
* Work with existing programmes in local authorities and Public Health
* South-West health education group have offered to support development

17. Social Emotional Mental Health Needs in Somerset
In Somerset, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs are the second most prevalent single primary need recorded for all statutory assessments (20.7% of assessments). This is higher than all our statistical neighbours.
Expectations set out in the Core Standards for Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (4 – 16) :
‘All children and adults should have good Social, Emotional and Mental Health.’
In Somerset, Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs are the second most prevalent single primary need recorded for all statutory assessments (20.7% of assessments) and the greatest proportion of applications for High Needs funding was in the SEMH category (39% applications in 2015 and 42% applications in 2016). Somerset schools classify more of their pupils as having SEMH needs when compared with the South West region and National data. The pattern of both permanent and fixed-term exclusion rates in Somerset have gradually decreased since 2006/07 until 2014/15, when the figures started to rise again.

18. Neuro-science…
“…evidence suggests that the aspects of cognition that we recruit most heavily in schools, namely
learning,
attention,
memory,
decision making,
and social functioning,
are both profoundly
affected by and subsumed within the processes of emotion.”
(Immordino-Yang and Damasio 2007).
The more children and young people are able to recognise, name and understand emotions and are able to interpret those of others, the more they are able to activate the parts of the brain that are connected to planning, reasoning, problem solving within life as a whole.
Paying attention to how you and others feel seems to have significant impact on life chances as a whole.
