Catholic Context
Sex and Relationship Education in Catholic Schools is taught in the context of a loving, long term, married relationships, but other family contexts are discussed, recognised and valued.
The main resource for the teaching of Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood is God’s Loving Plan.
The detailed planning framework in God’s Loving Plan connects learning in Religious Education (RERC) to aspects of Health & Wellbeing (H&W/B) taught from Primary 1 to Primary 7.
This learning is organised under four THEMES, dealing with God as the source of all life who is delighted when we use our unique talents (including our bodies) for good, who calls us to be loving people and who guides us to make choices that are good and responsible.
The teaching and learning in GLP is supported by the use of resources from Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP). The RSHP curriculum is part of ACFE and is used nationally. All content is age and stage appropriate for learners 3-18 years. Content is up to date and engaging and meets the needs of learners with ASN, including mild to moderate learning disabilities.

The personal safety programme is taught in conjunction with the RSHP programme. Keeping Myself Safe is the main resource used.
