Covering community and responsibility through PSHE education
We cover community and responsibility within the ‘Living in the Wider World’ theme of our PSHE Education Programme of Study.
This includes learning about the different roles and responsibilities people have within their community. It is also important to teach about the benefits of living in a diverse community and strategies for challenging stereotypes and prejudice.
Our Programme Builders show you how to plan this content it into your PSHE education curriculum and highlight quality assured lesson plans you can use.
Ensure external visitors or speakers make a safe and effective contribution to your school's PSHE programme, in line with the 2025 RSHE statutory guidance.
