Resource Pack: RSE
Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) goes beyond biology - it's about building healthy, respectful relationships and equipping young people with the skills to navigate emotional and social challenges. This RSE resource pack brings together a mix of Peerscroller videos covering all four of our key themes, supporting students in understanding relationships, personal boundaries, and their identity.
From consent and communication to sexual health and mental well-being, this pack covers essential topics that empower students to make informed, respectful decisions. The videos promote reflection and discussion, making them a valuable resource for classrooms, one-on-one sessions, or independent learning.
This is the first in a series of RSE-focused packs, and it’s a great starting point for important conversations that will help guide students through life’s complexities.
