What is RSE Relationships and sex education (RSE) is part of the PSHE curriculum which runs from Year 1 to Year 11 RSE was Previously known as - Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) and here at Cheetwood we have been delivering SRE to the pupils for the past 6 years. The new RSE guidelines says we must provide the following to all pupils: Relationships Education Health Education As a Primary school we are not required to provide sex education. This does not come into the curriculum until year 7. For this reason at Cheetwood we will be referring to RSE as Relationship Education (R.E)

Can parents withdraw their children from school RSE or at our school R.E? The new legislation brought in through the Children and Social Work Act 2017 will bring about some important changes in relation to parental rights to withdraw children from school RSE: Parents will not be able to withdraw their child from Relationships Education in primary school or secondary school Primary schools are required to teach National Curriculum science, which includes some elements of sex education. (KS2) Parents do not have a right to withdraw from this. Schools will continue to be required to publish policies on these subjects for parents, and statutory guidance will continue to set out that schools should consult parents on those policies to ensure they are feeding in their views. Full details of the new requirements are available in the new Government RSE guidance available from Gov.uk

R.S.E. expectations: primary Schools Here s what the guidelines say pupils should have learnt about, by the end of primary school In regards to Relationships

Families and people who care for me That families are important for children growing up because they can give love, security and stability The characteristics of healthy family life, commitment to each other, including in times of difficulty, protection and care for children and other family members, the importance of spending time together and sharing each other s lives That others families, either in school or in the wider world, sometimes look different to their family, but that they should respect those differences and know that other children s families are also characterized by love and care That stable, caring relationships, which may be of different types, are at the heart of happy families, and are important for children s security as they grow up That marriage represents a formal and legally recognized commitment of two people to each other which is intended to be lifelong How to recognise if family relationships are making them feel unhappy or unsafe, and how to seek help or advice from others if needed

Caring friendships How important friendships are in making us feel happy and secure, and how people choose and make friends The characteristics of friendships, including mutual respect, honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty, kindness, generosity, sharing interests and experiences and support with problems and difficulties That healthy friendships are positive and welcoming towards others, and do not make others feel lonely or excluded That most friendships have ups and downs, and that these can often be worked through so that the friendship is repaired or even strengthened, and that resorting to violence is never right How to recognise who to trust and who not to trust, how to judge when a friendship is making them feel unhappy or uncomfortable, managing conflict, how to managing these situations and how to seek help or advice from others if needed

These programmes have been delivered successfully here at Cheetwood for a number of years. So we will continue to deliver them. If you have any comments about these programmes please complete task sheet 4 and we will address them at our next meeting.;

Changes for 2020 Although at Cheetwood we feel we have been delivering the majority of core areas for many years there will be a couple of changes we need to introduce to meet the recommended guidelines these being:

Phase 1 The names for the main parts of the body (including external genitalia). This lesson will be taught as part of the science national curriculum . Along with other body parts Phase 1 children will be taught the scientific words penis and vagina

One of the main reasons why the government have decided to teach this in Phase 1, is safeguarding. Safeguarding our children is a priority. Young children are taught slang names for their body parts. (flower, winky).This is down to adult embarrassment, which then becomes embedded in the child. The child learns that the scientific names for these parts should not be used. However, research has shown that an abuser would think twice about abusing a child, if the child is confident when talking about and naming their body parts. As a safeguarding officer I have come across sexual abuse cases that have been prolonged because the child has used slang names. If the child had used the correct terminology then the abuse could have been identified and stopped sooner.

Your thoughts Which year group do you think this should be delivered in and why? Please write comments on task sheet 4

Changes in Phase 2 Introducing FGM to Year 5 Female genital mutilation (FGM) is any procedure that alters or injures a girl or woman s genital organs for non- medical reasons. The procedure is illegal in the UK, and it is also illegal to take a British national or permanent resident abroad to perform the procedure. FGM is usually carried out between infancy and 15 years of age, and may affect pupils in our school. At Cheetwood we have taught awareness about FGM to Year 6 Pupils for the past 5 years, However next year this will be addressed in the Y5 puberty lessons.(girls only)

New Programmes for 2020 We are what we eat Staying safe online The way we feel All information for these programmes will be put on the school website.

Questions Please complete the remaining questions on task sheet 5 What are your thoughts on our current curriculum for RSE ? Do you think this curriculum meets your child s needs? What do we do well? /What could we do better? Is there anything we re not covering that you think we need to address? Is there something we could cover more/less? What do you think about the way we currently deliver RSE to pupils? As a parent, do you feel like you need more information or guidance on specific topics?

What Happens Next We re also getting feedback from: Staff Pupils Governors Once we ve considered all the feedback, we ll address any worries and concerns in our next meeting/workshop We will then draft an updated R.E policy, which will set out our proposed curriculum. There will be a formal consultation period before the updated policy is approved.
