We are the official body for PSHE education

Our mission is to create a society in which every child is equipped with the tools they need to meet life’s challenges and make the most of life’s opportunities.

What we do

PSHE education is the school curriculum subject dedicated to supporting children’s physical and mental health, relationships, careers and economic wellbeing. And when taught well it’s proven to have a big impact on life outcomes.  

That's where we come in.

As a membership association and charity, we support over 50,000 teachers and schools to teach high quality personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education, including all statutory RSHE content, through our  guidance, training, curriculum models, lesson plans and advice.

We’re also responsible for maintaining the national PSHE education Programme of Study since 2014 and our research function allows us to explore new and emerging issues (from deepfakes to online misogyny) and come up with practical solutions for our members.

Members are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves in offering the best available PSHE and RSHE support to this growing community (find out more about membership).

When you join the PSHE Association, you’re gaining access to far more than our library of over 500 fully-researched, evidence-based lesson plans.
