My Family Coach in KS3 & KS4 - My Family Coach

My Family Coach in KS3 & KS4 (ENGLAND)

How does My Family Coach complement statutory Relationships & Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education lessons in school?

My Family Coach is designed around the needs of families and complements many areas of statutory guidance and wider PSHE teaching in school.
There are several ways My Family Coach can be used to support your lessons:

When you are teaching a RHE/ PSHE topic, share the relevant My Family Coach resources with your parents and carers.
My Family Coach resources can be added to a PSHE curriculum map.
If a family is experiencing a particular need, share relevant My Family Coach resources with them.
My Family Coach resources can be shared as part of a response to specific issues your school is facing.

The grids below set out the statutory Relationships and Health Education guidance for Primary Schools with appropriate My Family Coach resources. You will need to sign into the My Family Coach website to view them.
