Teaching young people about puberty helps to equip them for a period of significant change. Hormones cause young people’s bodies to change shape and develop – both internally and externally - and the adolescent brain undergoes major developmental changes which influences feelings and behaviour. Young people need our support and understanding to navigate this process of transition from childhood to becoming an adult. Good puberty education can also play a role in breaking down gender stereotypes. Learning about sexual identity and desire promotes tolerance and understanding and by teaching everyone about periods, we challenge stigma and empower young people to understand their bodies and fertility. By the end of this activity, participants will be able to: Name the different parts of the human body and differentiate between the slang and scientific terms for parts of the body Describe the changes that happen during puberty and the diverse experiences of young people with penises and vaginas Describe ways in which people can experience puberty differently and how the changes can impact on young people This resource is part of the Brook Learn Puberty course created in partnership with Lil-Lets, a leading UK feminine hygiene brand with over 60 years of expertise.

Course overview How to deliver RSE is split into six modules: 1: Introduction and evidence You will understand the importance of evidence-based practice, be familiar with the guidance and requirements in your region, and possess the tools to develop a robust RSE policy. The module covers practical strategies to prepare and deliver engaging RSE lessons in a whole school approach to support positive relationships and sexual health education. 2: Spiral curriculum The recommended way to teach RSE is through regular, dedicated lessons, using a spiral curriculum approach. This means teaching topics that are timely, relevant and age appropriate, whilst building on their knowledge year on year. There are three examples of a spiral curriculum in action on different topics. The module talks about adolescence and the significant cognitive and emotional development which affects a young person’s understanding of RSE topics. 3: Delivering great RSE To deliver great RSE, you must be fully prepared for the lesson you are delivering, ensuring you have reliable, up-to-date information and quality resources for the topic – this might therefore require some personal development to check your knowledge, confidence and skills are where you need them to be. This module covers: How to structure a lesson Reflecting on your personal and professional knowledge and values Answering difficult questions Identifying safeguarding concerns Providing LGBT+ representation and how to embed this into your lessons Achieving a truly inclusive environment at school 4: Religion and faith The intersection of faith and RSE can throw up some tricky issues. Many religious beliefs about relationships and sex can feel at odds with best practice and equalities legislation, and therefore needs careful navigation. We’ll take a look at the mandatory guidance as well as the lived experience of young people of faith. 5: Parents and carers Ideally, discussion of relationships and sex will happen at home alongside school-based RSE. This module covers how you can help by letting parents know what resources and techniques parents and carers can use at home to supplement RSE and discuss their own values and expectations around relationships. 6: Disabled and/or neurodivergent young people Recognising some of the barriers to learning that young people may experience in RSE is key to help them overcome them. The module covers different scenarios to encourage you to think of different teaching strategies with suitably adapted lesson plans.
