National Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) day will be a celebration of excellent RSE that educates children and young people about healthy relationships and positive sexual health. This is the first year this has been celebrated nationally, and provides an opportunity to highlight the new national guidance for Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education which will be mandatory from September 2020.
On 27 June 2019, schools, teachers, young people, families and the wider community are invited to:
- Nominate excellent teachers of RSE for the RSE teaching awards. The Deadline for nominations is Friday 31 May 2019
- Hold RSE activities, using the following ideas for primary schools and secondary schools
- Use social media, such as twitter, to share your RSE activities with pride and confidence – follow @RSE_day and use the hashtags #RSEday and #RSEtogether
- Tell your local community about your RSE activities through a newsletter, web-site update, local newspaper or other media.
To support your journey in preparing for mandatory RSE, the Sex Education Forum has produced a useful roadmap which sets out the 10 steps for providing high quality RSE.
