The East Sussex Healthy Schools programme
PSHE
All schools must consider the statutory guidance when teaching relationships, sex and health education. The DfE has published a range of training modules designed for subject leads or other staff to train groups of teachers on relationships, sex and health education.
As you complete this theme of your School Health Check Review, you may find there is criteria you have rated as RI or inadequate that you would like to focus on developing and improving.
Under each criteria we have provided some example resource links to support you. The resources listed here are just a few examples, our Health Improvement Team can provide you with support with all areas of the School Health Check.
