This book explores personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education and why it is crucial for young people. With a topic-by-topic guide, featuring the most contemporary themes, it shows what to cover in Key Stages 3-5 and how to cover it, including methods of assessing PSHE and providing extra-curricular opportunities. This book gives an overview of key challenges such as how to ensure that staff delivering PSHE are adequately trained and equipped to do so and how to make your PSHE curriculum inclusive, and lists recommended useful resources and reflection questions to help you develop PSHE within your own provision or setting. Its contributors are some of the country’s leading experts and practitioners with years of experience in this subject specialism, and is designed to support anyone passionate about improving not only their provision of compulsory relationships, sex and health education, but also those aspects of PSHE not yet mandatory, such as financial literacy and careers education.

Reviews for Developing Quality PSHE in Secondary Schools and Colleges
A thorough and extensive exploration of PSHE teaching. This book has taken the time to explore principles, ideas and implementation strategies for teaching of PSHE in school across key stages. It has wonderful guidance to resources to support teaching PSHE and brings theory and practice together very well. A must read for anyone in teaching. -- Pinky Jain, Head of Teacher Education, Carnegie School of Education, Leeds Beckett University, UK This book is essential reading for anyone working with young people in schools, who have the privilege and responsibility of delivering well-informed, inclusive and empowering PSHE education. The book provides a comprehensive overview of all the statutory topics from theory and ideology to curriculum to lesson planning and successful, safe, and effective delivery. Consideration of the role of inclusivity, diversity and sustainability are weaved throughout, and it gives advice, guidance and ideas from leaders in the field to support both new and experienced teachers in their PSHE practice. -- Alison Wiggins, Lecturer in Education, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK
