Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) Education.
RSHP education is a significant part of the health and wellbeing curriculum that is delivered from early level to senior phase within Curriculum for Excellence. It focuses on equipping learners with the knowledge, skills and values to make informed and positive choices about forming relationships. Learners develop an understanding of how to maintain positive relationships with a variety of people and are aware of how thoughts, feelings, attitudes, values and beliefs can influence decisions about relationships and sexual health. They also develop an understanding of the complex role and responsibilities of being a parent or carer.
It is also online and therefore accessible by everyone via www.rshp.scot. Please feel free to have a look around!
