We want all children to grow up healthy, happy, safe, and able to manage the challenges and opportunities of modern Britain. That is why, from September 2020, all primary age children will be taught Relationships and Health Education.
These subjects are designed to equip your child with knowledge to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health, and relationships as well as preparing them for a successful adult life.
To ensure your children get the very best teaching in these areas we will be using resources designed by 1decision, which has been kitemarked by the PSHE association – the effective governing body for the subject in the UK – as being a quality assured product. The 1decision resources have been developed over many years and each module has been created by PSHE and Safeguarding experts together with schools, and most importantly children, and can proudly say they are providing resources to schools in 39 counties.
You may like to find out more about them by visiting their website: www.1decision.co.uk as they have some further information for parents at Parent / Carer Zone (1decision.co.uk) this link also contains the video resources used in the puberty and conception topics.
