Five steps to improving PSHE

Julie McCann offers school leaders and teachers some practical advice to help you ensure effective PSHE

We are all aware that the ever-changing world in which we live throws up challenges and opportunities for young people that previous generations could not have dreamt of.

To negotiate this complicated yet exciting landscape, children and young people need to have the chance to consider how to manage risk, take care of their physical, mental and emotional health, keep themselves and others safe, make informed choices and know how to access help and support as part of their curriculum.

Young people themselves really appreciate the need for PSHE; in fact the UK Youth Parliament has made “a curriculum for life” a campaign priority for four years in a row, with almost 970,000 young people taking part in the process in 2015.
