High-quality PSHE education, including statutory RSHE content, helps young people with SEND rehearse and embed the practical skills and understanding they need to lead independent and fulfilling lives and enjoy safe and healthy relationships.
Supporting PSHE education leads and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) is a key part of our work. Our planning framework sets out learning outcomes for pupils with SEND, based on the Programme of Study for PSHE education. It is designed to help teachers plan and assess developmentally-appropriate PSHE education for pupils with SEND.
Our framework also supports both mainstream and special education schools to provide a comprehensive PSHE programme that integrates, but is not limited to, the statutory content. For example, 'The World I Live In' section covers aspects of PSHE relating to careers, economic wellbeing, personal safety and how to prepare for adulthood. This learning is critical to support different levels of independence that pupils with SEND may have.
The above is just a selection of our most recent resources for pupils with SEND. See what else is available, including lessons on drugs and alcohol, relationships, and cybercrime.
This course will explore the importance of PSHE education, including the new statutory RSHE statutory guidance, for pupils with SEND, and consider strategies for delivery.
