Relationships and Sex Education Lesson Ideas for the 21st Century

The accessible guide provides a range of innovative lesson ideas for delivering RSE in secondary schools. It covers a wide range of topics relating to sex, relationships, sexual health and human sexuality, with mix and match activities for teachers to adapt to the needs of their students, and to empower them to develop their own planning and teaching techniques. Core chapters contain engaging ideas that tackle high profile issues such as online safety, gender identity, consent and child exploitation, as well as guidance on establishing safe spaces. It is an invaluable resource for educators who lack knowledge and confidence in this field, or who may want to expand or refresh their practice.
