📚 Teaching Sex and Relationships Education: A Safeguarding Perspective 🛡️ Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) is critical to safeguarding young people, yet many teachers find it challenging to deliver confidently and effectively. According to a 2022 survey by NASUWT and the NSPCC, 46% of teachers report lacking confidence when teaching this vital subject. This highlights the need for further support and resources to ensure the safe and effective delivery of SRE in our schools. The NSPCC Learning Podcast, featuring Childline ambassador Natalie Dormer, recently discussed the hurdles teachers face when addressing SRE and explored practical solutions. Effective SRE equips students with knowledge about healthy relationships, consent, and personal boundaries, all of which play a significant role in preventing abuse. For schools, taking a whole-school approach to teaching SRE is essential. This ensures that the curriculum is delivered in a way that is inclusive, age-appropriate, and aligned with safeguarding principles. By engaging with students openly and thoughtfully, schools can create a safe environment where difficult topics are discussed with sensitivity and care. #SRE #Safeguarding #TalkRelationships #NSPCC #SchoolSafety #SexEducation #PreventingAbuse https://lnkd.in/eh_J7VcW
