Debbie was engaging and enthusiastic throughout all 3 talks and the pupils responded very well to all of the material that was covered. She also gave a parents seminar in the evening which focussed on Contextualising RSHE, looking at current UK data on sex and relationships and the challenges to parents discussing RSHE.
All of these talks have been followed up in tutor time on Wednesday in Joint House Tutor groups so that the pupils are aware of the importance of the material.
