RSE @ Home with Brook – 2024/25
RSE at Home with Brook is our series specifically created for parents and carers who want to further support their children’s relationship and sex education at home. Brook expert staff use their knowledge and experience to give you support on how to address potentially tricky topics at home.
School RSE focusses on the facts, the law and the expectations of the school and wider community. It provides an opportunity to discuss issues in a depersonalised way which keeps everyone in the classroom safe whatever their beliefs or experience.
RSE at home is a real opportunity to talk about your family’s values and beliefs, and to use examples from your own family and people you know to talk about health and relationships.
These information sessions are delivered online via Zoom and Instagram (@sexualhealthbucks). The video recordings of each session will also be uploaded to our Facebook page at Sexual Health Bucks.
