Relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)

Free webinar on Tuesday 7th July 10.00 – 12.00

Join the Department for Education, and experts on Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health education, for a two-hour webinar covering key issues to support preparation for high quality RSHE.

The knowledge pupils will gain from RSHE will support their own, and others’ wellbeing, and help them build positive and safe relationships. This will be particularly important in the coming months as pupils return to schools and start spending time with friends again.

This event is for teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and PSHE leads in local authorities to hear from experts who will share their experiences of getting it right in both mainstream and special schools.

Speakers include Ian Bauckham, DfE Education Adviser and CEO of the Tenax Schools Trust, the PSHE Association, the Sex Education Forum and Professor Barry Carpenter, professor of mental health in education from Oxford Brookes University.

This event is free to attend and open to more than one person from each school – please register here: https://registration.livegroup.co.uk/rshesend/

Please cascade to your networks.

Encouraging literacy in children with SEN

After all the debate and politically driven ideology about teaching reading only via Phonics , this article reminds us powerfully why we teach reading , and how holistic approaches are probably more successful with children with SEND.

A child’s first experiences with books and stories, paper and crayons build the foundation for language, reading and writing.

“Teaching language and literacy via the use of books demands the highest quality teaching. This in turn requires knowledge, insight and curiosity about how children learn and develop alongside their unique interests and needs,” writes Kathryn Solly. Kathryn explains how children with SEN can become inspired about books and reading.
