Welcome to the first RSE toolkit designed to support educators in the post 16 sector to deliver effective Relationships and Sex Education to students.
RSE is fundamentally about respect, consent and wellbeing and includes relationships, identity, digital activity and personal and social safety. RSE enables and empowers young people to make informed, respectful choices without causing harm.
Within the toolkit there are many resources which can be used for discussion-based sessions, direct teaching and self-directed learning.
The different strands of the toolkit are set out clearly and span a broad range of needs including SEND and 14-16, alongside materials focussed for 16-19 audiences.
‘Time spent in Further Education is a period of critical personal and social development for young people. A key element is understanding consent and personal boundaries, healthy relationships and challenging unhealthy ‘norms’. The Relationships and Sex Education Toolkit has been created to support college staff to deliver high quality guidance and information which will help challenge misogynistic attitudes and promote gender equality.’ Polly Harrow – Toolkit Creator.
Together, we can educate our students to understand equality and respect, build empathy, challenge harmful norms, encourage critical thinking and change attitudes and behaviours to contribute to a healthier, safer society.
Very special thanks are given to Kirklees College, Gateshead College, NAMSS, AoC and DfE for all the support they have given in this project.
This toolkit is created by Polly Harrow, Assistant Principal at Kirklees College and FE Student Support Champion DfE. Please address any questions regarding the content to PHarrow@kirkleescollege.ac.uk
