The Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education (RSHE) Graduated Offer of fully-funded support is a comprehensive and flexible programme, providing schools and settings with the guidance and tools to meet the RSHE needs of children and young people, including those with SEND. The offer supports schools and settings to deliver an effective RSHE curriculum and develop an evidence-informed approach to meeting the statutory requirements. We highlight best practice and provision which includes ensuring staff are well trained to deliver RSHE with confidence in their classrooms.
