Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education has in various forms been part of the national curriculum for schools in England since 2000. Some aspects, but not all, have been compulsory. PSHE is defined by the schools inspectorate Ofsted as a planned programme to help children and young people develop fully as individuals and as members of families and social and economic communities. Its goal is to equip young people with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthily, safely, productively and responsibly.[1]
In Wales, the comparable element of the state school curriculum topic is Personal and Social Education (PSE).
[edit] Recent developments
Recent research at the University of Southampton and the University of Bristol has resulted in a thrust towards changing this.[citation needed] The UK government published in May 2005[2] the "SEAL" pack (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) for primary schools to teach emotional literacy and personal growth overtly through PSHE and the curriculum. This is to be supported also in secondary schools in England and Wales with a similar pack, still in development, called "SEBS" or Social, Emotional and Behavioural Skills. It is also sometimes referred to as variants of PSHEE (Personal Social Health Economic Education).[citation needed]
More recently, the largest ever study of PSHE education in primary and secondary schools in England was completed by the Centre for Education and Inclusion Research (CEIR) at Sheffield Hallam University (Formby et al., 2011). This research was based on a nationally representative survey and in-depth case studies to map and assess the delivery and effectiveness of current provision in English primary and secondary schools.
In July 2011, the Department for Education launched an internal review of personal, social, health and economic education to look at the content and quality of teaching of PSHE in schools.[3] Closing date for the responses to the review is Wednesday 30 November 2011.
[edit] Publications
There are many independent publications supporting the teaching of PSHE in schools in the UK:
- Circles, PSHE and Citizenship in Secondary Schools by Marilyn Tew, Hilary Potter and Mary Read
- PSHE and Citizenship by Hilary Mason
- The PSHE Co-Ordinator's Handbook by Colin Noble, Graham Hofmann

Nearly 10000 young people from across the county will have the opportunity to attend one of five shows running during May and June. Now in its fifteenth year the 2Smart road show aims to provide young people with information about bullying, alcohol, drug and knife issues to help them make better decisions. Forming part of the personal, social and health education programme the road show helps young people understand what they can achieve if they stay on the right track. Inspector Neil Armstrong who co-ordinated the events said; "The 2Smart programme is a fantastic way young people can really start to understand the choices they have as they go through life. "Using theatre, dance, sport, facts and audience participation Essex Police are working with partner organisations including the Essex Young People Drug and Alcohol Service to present young people with the information they can use to shape their own future in a fun and interactive way rather than dictating the rights and wrongs to them. "The shows are a great opportunity for young people to get to know their local neighbourhood officers and gain trust and confidence in the police. This not only gives officers and young people something in common, but helps to build a strong relationship between the police and the community."
