The development of crucial life skills, such as communication, decision making, and critical thinking is an integral part of effective relationships and sex education (RSE). This is well established in research evidence and supported by UNESCO’s international technical standards for the subject.
The Government Curriculum and Assessment Review, which has opened a call for evidence, provides a welcome opportunity for the RSE community to show how skills development is at the heart of impactful RSE curriculum design and a vital ingredient in lessons that engage learners across all phases of education.
Sex Education Forum’s Autumn Members’ Event will be a timely opportunity to
- Understand the evidence base about the most crucial skills that young people need to learn to foster healthy relationships and help prevent violence
- Explore case-studies of skills-rich RSE teaching and learning
- Consider the skills needed to facilitate high-quality, inclusive RSE that addresses learners’ skills, values and knowledge
Guest speakers include
- Professor G.J. Melendez-Torres, University of Exeter
- Sarah Pengelly, Curriculum Developer, The Big Think
- Kate Lexén, Director of Services, Tender
- Joshua Speer, Guidance Manager, BHASVIC (Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College)
Join us on Thursday 14 November 2024 for a morning designed to sharpen our knowledge of the research evidence, share our understanding of RSE practice and make a difference by informing policy.
