This statutory guidance is for teachers, headteachers and governing bodies and applies to maintained schools, academies and free schools. All schools teaching SRE must have regard to this advice.

It aims to guide schools and teachers on some of issues they may have to deal with when teaching sex and relationship education and also outlines some practical strategies for teaching and addresses some of the issues for schools concerning confidentiality.

Acknowledging that this guidance was published in 2000, the PSHE Association, Brook and the Sex Education Forum brought out supplementary advice ‘SRE for the 21st Century’ in February 2014.
