What condom negotiation can teach us about adolescence itself | BPS Lucy Foulkes with a theme from her new book, ‘Coming of Age: How Adolescence Shapes Us’.

I've only just caught up with this excellent, accessible article which, will be of interest to anyone teaching RSHE / PSHE. Please do share: www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Thank-you for sharing this challenging research Lucy. As education becomes increasingly evidence-informed, our R(S)HE/PSHE provision needs to be more effective in using approaches that are more likely to improve the learning and life chances of children and young people.

I sympathise and agree entirely Debra, a simple ruling is not enough, we need a sea change in public opinion, which needs to start with Education.

This is not an interpretation that respects the rights of everyone. Those of us with transgender children are now being asked questions like 'why does the whole world hate us' and 'am I going to be beaten up if I try to go to the toilet?' and 'do you think someone will hate me enough to kill me?'

I doubt we will see clear guidance anytime soon. Instead we will have 100 schools implementing 100 different responses. It will be a mess of court cases and appeals for months or years.

In the meantime young people will suffer being political footballs for adults fighting.

Our 'Empowering Young People to Change the World' online teachers conference series, begins 24 April.

Influencers fuelling misogyny in schools, teachers say Almost three in five teachers believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, according to a union poll.

The importance of #RSHE #PSHE to keep pupils safe and improve learning should not be underestimated - especially when teachers do not feel adequately trained to address these societal challenges: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sheffield pupils want Netflix drama Adolescence to be shown in schools Pupils in year 9 at Meadowhead School in Sheffield believe Adolescence should be shown to students.

Although I am a strong advocate for 'pupil voice', there a number of reasons that the brilliant drama 'Adolescence' should not be shown in schools. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The need for high-quality R(S)HE/PSHE, and funding for teachers CPD has never been greater to keep children safe and enhance their learning and life chances: www.bbc.com/news/article...

We must help mainstream schools support more pupils with SEND Giving schools more opportunities to act early when supporting children’s needs could deliver huge improvements, says Pepe Di’Iasio

We desperately need change-Leaders are stuck in a system where funding is only unlocked after an EHCP is secured.Its a system designed for conflict.Parents forced to battle schools.Schools forced to ration support And the children at the heart of it? They’re left waiting. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

What are ‘high and rising standards’ and how do we achieve them? - SecEd This article considers what the Department for Education pledge for high and rising standards in schools means

‘High and Rising Standards!’ Nobody would argue against this ambition of course, but what does it actually mean – and how are we going to achieve this?

Teaching media literacy is essential if we are to keep pupils safe and secure online. It also has a democratic/political element too.

This is reassuring, to an extent, but how curious that
@educationgovuk fail to mention the crucial role of PSHE to address knife crime:

10-year study to shed light on youth vaping Landmark study to investigate long-term health effects of vaping on young people's health and wellbeing, alongside wider influences on adolescent health.

This is such an important component of public health, I really hope that @DHSC and @educationgovuk make the links with @educationgovuk and the statutory components of PSHE / R(S)HE www.gov.uk/government/n...
