HEADS UP

Recruiting schools for Positive Choices RSE programme

Secondary schools in central and southern England are invited to participate in a study of ‘Positive Choices’, a free RSHE package.

This aims to promote healthy relationships, good sexual health and prevent sexual harassment. It enables schools to fulfil statutory requirements regarding RSHE, social and emotional wellbeing, personal development and safeguarding. Schools will be randomly allocated in early 2022 to receive the package or get £500 to act as a comparison school. Implementation would begin in September 2022.

Positive Choices includes materials focused on years 9 and 10 plus training from a specialist provider. Comparison schools are free to develop their RSHE provision as they see fit but can only access Positive Choices materials once the trial ends. The research is led by an experienced team from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. More information and a heads' sign-up form is available from chris.bonell@lshtm.ac.uk.
