Aim: This webinar will explain the important role of the RHE/RSHE subject lead in primary and secondary schools in light of DfE guidance on compulsory RHE/RSHE, and clarify how the guidance correlates with the new Ofsted framework draft. It will also consider the challenges school leaders may face when introducing the role, and how to overcome them.

Rationale: From September 2020 three new subjects will be introduced to ensure schools prepare pupils for the modern world – health education, relationships education and RSHE. More than 11,000 responses were received as a result of a three-month consultation on the draft regulations and guidance. From September 2019, schools are expected to take the first steps in introducing RHE/RSHE into their curriculum before the subjects become a statutory requirement. Education Secretary Damian Hinds commented: “Although RSHE is only mandatory to teach at secondary, it must be grounded in a firm understanding and valuing of positive relationships, and respect for others, from primary age”.
