2 Year Thematic Cycle

Relationships and Sexuality Education

Relationships and Sexuality Education is part of the new curriculum in Wales and schools in Wales must teach RSE from September 2022 on a phased basis. A new RSE Act was brought in during 2021.

 

 

This law will make sure all children and young people have opportunities to develop their understanding of relationships and sexuality. This will help empower children and young people with the understanding and skills they need to make informed choices and to be happy, healthy and safe.

 

 

Children and young people will develop their understanding all the way through their learning. The Code and Guidance set out that teachers need to make sure that RSE is developmentally appropriate for children and young people. Developmentally appropriate means children learn about relationships and sexuality in a way that is right for their age, experiences and understanding.
