Tips and resources for new PSHE leads

PSHE Resources and projects Middle leadership
With relationships and sex education set to become statutory and the importance of PSHE in its entirety increasingly recognised, Jenny Barksfield offers those who are new to leading this vital subject some practical advice and tips to get you started

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is increasingly recognised for its role in preparing young people for life and work. As a result, there is a growing consensus for PSHE to have equal status on the curriculum with other, statutory, subjects.

This focus on PSHE education is timely – dealing as it does with so many pressing issues facing young people today, from mental health to online safety, body image to employability skills and economic wellbeing.

The government’s commitment to ensuring compulsory relationships and sex education (RSE) – a vital component of PSHE education – from 2019 is therefore welcome, alongside its commitment to exploring ways of raising the quality of PSHE in its entirety.
