Why has the resource been developed?
- There is a need to improve the quality, relevance, consistency and coverage of RSHP education.
- We need to deliver RSHP education that helps protect children and young people from harm and supports them to understand that friendships and personal relationships should be healthy, happy and safe.
- The resource helps teachers to source material that is age and stage appropriate, so that they can focus on building relationships with learners.
- We need our RSHP education to reflect a modern and inclusive Scotland where we value and respect the human rights of everyone.
