RSHE Statutory Guidance for Secondary Schools

A webinar providing a comprehensive overview of the updated RSHE guidance for secondary schools

Webinar overview

In July last year, the 2025 RSHE Guidance was published, giving schools until September 2026 to implement the changes to their current provision. The 2019 guidance remains statutory until this September, although schools may choose to update their curriculum and approach in line with the 2026 guidance now if they wish. 

This webinar has been specially designed to:

• Recognise how the RSHE statutory requirements relate to your school
• Identify what new principles and processes the RSE statutory guidance requires your school to adopt
• Identify what you are expected to teach in Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education
• Understand how Sex Education might be defined and what parents can withdraw their child/ren from
• Understand how SCARF supports you in implementing your statutory requirements

Webinar Presenter

He has worked as both a classroom educator, a school staff trainer and a parent & carer workshop facilitator.
