Pupil voice is essential to effective, meaningful Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). It means empowering young people to share their RSE needs and shape the education they receive.
Pupil voice means giving children and young people the opportunity to have a say in decisions being made about their lives. It is underpinned by Article 12 in the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
In Relationships and Sex Education it means engaging with students about what they want to learn and how they want to be taught, to ensure RSE can best support them and meet their needs.
38% of pupils are not asked their views on RSE. However, focus groups organised by Brook found that even when students have never been consulted about RSE before, they are eager to get involved.
Read Brook’s 5 step plan to ensure pupil voice is at the heart of RSE.
Here are some blogs by young people about what they would have liked their RSE to be.
Our online course, Introduction to RSE, has a module dedicated to building your RSE curriculum with young people.
