Welcome to All About RSE with Esther Hardy
All About RSE is centred on delivering excellent, up to date and accurate Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) that is appropriate for young people at different stages and ages.
All About RSE facilitates sessions that are sensitive but lively, and that take into consideration what many young people say they need from RSE. All sessions are compatible with the Department of Education’s new Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education statutory guidance 2019.

Enabling healthy choices
The aim of All About RSE is to encourage young people to see how valuable they are and to equip them with information and strategies that will help them in making conscious and intelligent decisions about relationships and sex.
Building self-respect
Over the years I have found that giving young people the opportunity to investigate the issues in a safe, structured environment greatly increases their confidence in thinking about what is right for them personally. I do not believe that sex education makes young people more sexually active. In fact, I believe it helps them to realise that it is alright to say ‘no’ to sex and wait until they are older before becoming sexually active.
Partnership with schools and parents
When teaching about relationships and sex, I am extremely aware that for staff, students and parents this can be a tricky area to negotiate. With this in mind I aim to establish a positive working relationship with the school. I value the teachers' input into the areas they feel would be most appropriate for their students and the need to fit within the schools ethos and curriculum.
Flexible lessons, professional feedback
All lessons are interactive and I encourage students to learn through activities, relevant video clips, music, discussion, PowerPoint presentations and Q & A sessions. I am happy to work in small groups or with whole year groups. I plan the lessons for each individual school and their individual requirements. I always aim to give each school a lesson outline to keep for their records. When appropriate I will follow up any issues from lessons with written feedback.
Qualified and experienced
Over the years All About RSE has had extremely positive feedback from students and staff alike. Students regularly express how useful the sessions have been and ask when I will be back again, and staff find it hugely helpful to have an independent worker with specialist knowledge to facilitate the lessons. Please do read some of the testimonials from people I have worked with.
