About This Webinar

In terms of protecting pupils' mental health, a key part of schools' work must be effective Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). Since RSHE became statutory, there has been a focus on updating the curriculum and school policy to comply with the new government guidance. With those changes largely in place, how will we know that Relationships and Sex Education is meeting the grade?

In this workshop, Lucy will explore a set of evidence-based criteria for successful RSE; unpick some common sticking points in providing open and honest RSE that meets children and young people’s needs, and identify steps for sustaining parental engagement and staff development.

Lucy Emmerson

Director, Sex Education Forum

As Chief Executive of the Sex Education Forum, Lucy oversees the day-to-day running of the charity and ensuring our members and partners continue to receive everything they would expect from Sex Education Forum, including high-quality resources, training and the latest policy developments.

Lucy has been at the forefront of campaigns for statutory RSE, and is regularly called on to inform both the policy and research agenda and to speak in the media.

Lucy also supports teachers by providing practical resources to help them provide quality RSE. She has written numerous publications including guides on involving parents and carers in RSE, toolkits for pupil consultation and a series of e-magazines for educators.
Lucy worked with young people to develop ‘Outside the Box’, an innovative new RSE programme for use in small groups with young people at higher risk of sexual exploitation. A training course for facilitators is now available nationally.

Currently, Lucy is leading our work as partner in the Positive Choices project, led by LSHTM. Lucy also provides bespoke consultancy input on a range of RSE related projects.
