sex education forum
We are the Sex Education Forum. First established in 1987, we have helped
support generations of educators and lobbied successfully for the introduction
of compulsory Relationships and Sex Education in England. In April 2021 we
established ourselves as an independent charity. As the voice of Relationships
and Sex Education (RSE) in England we promote and protect the physical and
mental health of children and young people by improving their access to RSE. We
bring together our partners and wider stakeholders to share best practice,
research, monitor the provision of RSE, explore and respond to new themes and
identify gaps. Working together with our partners, members and wider
stakeholders is central to everything we do. We support educators with high
quality training, resources and a membership scheme, so they can be competent
and confident providers of RSE, in partnership with parents, carers, children
and young people. We gather international evidence about effective RSE and use
this to inform policy and practice and to increase public understanding of the
benefits of RSE. Established in 1987, the Sex Education Forum has a long history
of influencing policy, that is grounded in the latest research and evidence, and
supporting educators with resources and advice. After 34 years of being hosted
at the National Children’s Bureau, we established ourselves as an independent
charity in April 2021. For schools, educators, researchers and other
professionals involved in RSE, the Sex Education Forum is an indispensable
source of knowledge and support - we hope you will consider joining us. Join as
