Loudmouth's New Series of Blogs on Statutory RSE

As you’ve probably heard, there is new guidance on Relationship Education (RE), Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education.

We know you might have lots of questions: Loudmouth are here to help!

We are releasing a series of bite size blog posts to help you understand different areas of the guidance.

There will be new blogs on the new guidance every week (sometimes more) over the next few months including the basics of what the guidance covers, what it means for different types of schools, the role of parents and what it says about particular topics.

Each blog also flags up some ideas and how Loudmouth can support you further as well as some useful links to great free resources and organisations.

This page will be regularly updated with a list of the blogs in the series that are currently online. Why not bookmark this page and catch up each week to gradually build your understanding of the new guidance.

Once you have read these blogs, have a look at the Sex Education Forum and PSHE Association's Roadmap and tools. You can read more about these here.

What people say

Take a look at how we’ve helped others

Brilliant acting and interaction with the children. The play itself covered puberty in an open, realistic and humorous way which forms a terrific basis for future discussion with the teacher and each other. So much depends on the enthusiasm of the actors and I feel that we were very lucky to have such a talented pair, not only to perform, but to lead the discussions afterwards. They were able to relate to the children without any embarrassment. SUPERB!!

Compared to other companies we have had covering the same content, the actors were more flexible and accommodating to the children’s individual needs. Through their answers and questions, the children were demonstrating a higher level of understanding, empathy and personal safety.
