This process will help you to meet recognised good
practice when developing your sex and relationships education policy.
N.B. Remember that the Healthy Schools Team has an SRE specialist
who can give you advice and support with any stage of this process.
- Identify a person to lead the development of the policy, its
implementation, and monitoring. Clarify the roles and responsibilities
of the co-ordinator, the head teacher, the named governor and
classroom teachers in relation to SRE.
Managing whole school issues is a complex development task which
requires senior management support.
- Convene a working group to support this whole school development.
This should include teaching staff, non-teaching staff, a governor,
the school nurse, and parent representatives.
It is important to consider how pupils’ views will be represented
on this group if pupils themselves cannot be invited to attend.
Use the ideas from this group to develop a plan of action and
to take a share of some of the tasks that may need to be done.
- Agree pupils’ entitlement for SRE, having regard for
the views of pupils, parents, teachers and other professionals.
Holding a parents’ workshop can support this stage and the
following stage.
- Through consultation with parents, pupils, teaching, non-teaching
staff and other professionals, identify the learning outcomes
for the skills, values, attitudes and knowledge you want pupils
to achieve whilst at school.
- Liaise with schools in your quadrant to ensure continuity and
progression.
- Audit and review current provision against the non-statutory
framework for PSHE, the DfES guidance, the National Curriculum
Science Orders and the agreed entitlement for pupils.
- Consider staffing, resources, and professional development
implications.
- Identify monitoring and evaluation processes and decide on
a biannual review cycle for the policy.
- Draft the policy following the Healthy Schools Programme SRE
policy framework and consult with the school community.
- Gain agreement for the policy by the governing body.
- Disseminate the policy within school and make available for
parents and inspection.
- Implement and monitor the policy, reporting regularly to the
senior management team and governors.
