SPHE/RSE Toolkit

This toolkit is being developed to support teachers working with Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) as an aspect of the current SPHE curriculum. The toolkit aims to provide supports for teachers in preparing for and teaching SPHE/RSE. The toolkit has three sections – Preparing to Teach; Teaching SPHE/RSE; Resources to Teach SPHE/RSE. 

The criteria for selection of resources can be accessed here. Each resource should be considered in respect to the particular needs and interests of children, their parents, the wider school community, and your school’s SPHE and RSE policies.
