RSE lessons are part of PSHE curriculum taught in school and can sometimes be called sex education. These lessons cover a wide range of topics such as healthy relationships, online safety, consent, and much more. The aim of RSE is to help all children and young people be healthy, happy, and safe now and in the future.

This is your opportunity to help us improve RSE lessons in schools across the county.

We’re asking questions about gender, sexual orientation, and sex at birth to make sure we hear from a diverse range of young people. This helps us understand different experiences and ensure that the information and support available are relevant and inclusive for everyone. The next three questions are optional. You can skip them if you prefer not to respond.

Question Title

* 9. What is your sex?

Your sex is what is recorded on your birth certificate. It may be different from how you choose to identify yourself.

Question Title

* 10. Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?

If your gender isn’t the same as what’s on your birth certificate (like if you're transgender or non-binary), tick "No." It's totally up to you, so you can leave it blank if you'd rather not share.
