Episode notes

There is a great danger that schools will not make any more space for it in the curriculum than they did before. The guidance doesn't really have any requirements for amount of hours spent on r does it? It's really non prescriptive. There are some who love it, really enjoy it and undertake as much training as they possibly can - but there's nothing in initial teacher training. Most people are seo thrash a a photo copied work sheet ten minutes before a lesson by some poor newly qualified teacher. And i suspect that that very patchy, inconsistent delivery is going to carry on for some time until schools are e more lee way about their curriculum.

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Lisa Hallgarten, who is the Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Brook. Lisa discusses Sexual Health Week 2020: Get Your RSE in Gear, and what the new UK law about mandatory sex and relationships education means for schools and teachers from September 2020. She and Hannah talk about the 30 year campaign to get RSE on the UK curriculum, the guidance released by the government, and what it does (and doesn’t) contain. Finally, Lisa and Hannah discuss the problem with “age-appropriateness” and Lisa gives some tips and resources for teachers.
