Key (free) articles and reports

Some RSE teaching resources not written by me

Recommended longer reads and background issues connected to RSE

YouTube content related to RSE


Academic articles around RSE (some behind a paywall)

Open access
Behind a paywall


RSE topics 

Biology 
Relationships
Emotional wellbeing
Technology
RSE and disability focused resources 

Physical teaching resources I recommend

In person teaching
  • Compact contraception display kit Health Education
  • O-Cube Health Education
  • Condoms bulk buy Pasante* 
    (The cost of condom demonstrations can quickly add up so always look out for the big boxes usually called "clinic packs". Also flavoured condoms can help young people feel more confident to touch condoms in a classroom demonstration)
  • Condom Demonstrators*, Another and another
    (For education I recommend buying a few different ones, different shapes and sizes and colours to emphasize that variation is normal and the same condoms can fit on all of them)
  • Sexual Dams EXS

I am going to share the process I went through creating " See I...

Thank you if you came to my workshop at NYMW 2023 about how youth workers might consider using AI within their work. Obviously there is a lot of areas we could have looked at. We only scratched the surface, especially around the ethics. But with the current attention on generative AI I hope it was useful.
