The text aims to: equip teachers with a step-by-step teaching programme for each stage of learning which covers nationally recommended guidelines for personal and social education; offer clear guidance on planning and on ways to work with parents and governors; and emphasise a whole-school approach to sex and health education which builds on existing skills and increases the teacher's confidence in tackling this difficult subject.
