New to relationships and sex education (RSE) or looking for a refresher? If you’re looking to prepare yourself or your staff to deliver this important content and improve your approach across the whole school, you need the right knowledge and resources on hand to ensure an accurate, engaging and interesting learning experience.
Produced in partnership with the Open University and Cardiff University, this introductory course will help you prepare by giving you a grounding in the core themes of sex and relationships education. Understanding the basics such as types, frequency and attitudes towards sex will enable you to confidently deliver evidence and data supported teaching.
Not only will we identify how to explore topics in further detail such as STIs, pleasure and relationships and consent, we’ll also outline how you can engage young people in developing your curriculum.
The course takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete and is ideal preparation for our core course ‘How to teach RSE’ – a must have for any educator delivering RSE.
