1. Relationships and Sex education (RSE) update for parents/carers
Introduce yourself and colleagues. Ask parents to introduce themselves and which year their child is in.

2. What do they want to know?
Children and young people tell us:
RSE is ‘too little, too late and too biological’
They would like opportunities to learn about and discuss the emotional and practical aspects of relationships
They are often ill-prepared for relationships
They need opportunities to have their questions answered and to learn about aspects of development before they happen, not after.
Highlight:
…. and does not address broader emotional, moral or social issues
….this includes puberty, growing up, sexuality, what to expect and how to cope, and not simply the biological and reproductive information
….. and would like opportunities to think about peer pressure, how it can lead to unwanted sex, and its consequences
…… including correct information to dispel myths and to address their fears
As a result it is essential that RSE-
Starts early and is relevant to pupils at each stage in their development and maturity
