PSHE & RSE (KCSIE 2025): Medium-Term Delivery Plan
A structured, ready-to-implement instructional delivery schedule mapping PSHE and Relationships and Sex Education through the DDP framework. The plan aligns with safeguarding expectations under KCSIE 2025 while shifting delivery towards wellbeing, habits, emotional self-regulation tracking, digital footprint safety, catfishing awareness, online relationship risks, consent, healthy boundaries, and independent adult planning.

Wellbeing, Identity, Habits & Emotional Self-Regulation
Wellbeing Baselines, Emotional Regulation and Habit Mapping
Emotional vocabulary, regulation triggers, sensory stress, sleep, nutrition, hydration, routines, habit loops, protective factors, trusted adults, help-seeking, and emotional self-regulation tracking.
Avoid shame-based wellbeing language. Frame regulation as data, body signals and strategy selection.
"A feeling is not a failure. It is information from your body and brain. We are learning how to notice the signal, name it safely, and choose a strategy before it becomes overwhelming."
- • Knowledge: Identify emotional states, protective habits and safe help-seeking options.
- • Application: Create a personal regulation tracker with triggers, body signals and strategies.
Healthy Relationships, Personal Boundaries and Safe Communication
Friendship, respect, personal boundaries, consent foundations, pressure, privacy, trusted adults, conflict resolution, assertive communication, unhealthy relationship signs, and personal boundary.
Use structured scenarios and low-demand language frames to support learners who find direct relationship discussion difficult.
"A boundary is not being rude. It is a clear signal that helps people understand what is safe, respectful and comfortable. We can practise boundary language before we need it in real life."
- • Knowledge: Identify respectful, unsafe and pressurising behaviours in relationships.
- • Application: Practise safe boundary statements and identify trusted adults or support pathways.
The Standard DDP PSHE & RSE Lesson Architecture Runner
Simulate or run a 60-minute neuro-affirming safeguarding-informed PSHE lesson structure. Guides instruction pacing automatically.
Zone 1: Anchoring
Students receive ground rules, opt-out routes, regulation supports, key vocabulary, and safe question channels before sensitive content begins.
Zone 2: Exploration
Students examine scenarios, map risks, practise boundary language, identify trusted adults, and build safe response pathways.
Zone 3: Translation
Students translate learning into personal safety plans, regulation trackers, trusted adult maps or future-ready action steps.
DDP Teacher Script Engine
Select a typical classroom barrier below to practise the recommended delivery intervention script.
Each script provides a direct, low-demand verbal instruction.
"A feeling is not a failure. It is information from your body and brain. We are learning how to notice the signal, name it safely, and choose a strategy before it becomes overwhelming."
Treating emotional escalation as behaviour failure rather than a signal that needs recognition, safety and strategy.
Reduces shame and supports the learner to identify triggers, body signals and self-regulation strategies.

DDP Diverse Resource Bank: PSHE, RSE and Safeguarding (KCSIE 2025)
Department rule: where an organisation, campaigner, case study, video, helpline or text is the teacher's choice, it is drawn from this bank so that Black, female and neurodivergent voices are the norm across the course. Check that helplines and resources are current each term, and route any disclosure through the DSL as KCSIE requires.
Mental health organisations and voices
YoungMinds, Kooth, Anna Freud Centre and Mind for core resources; Black Minds Matter UK for Black-led therapy access and for the discussion of why help-seeking differs across communities; campaigner Natasha Devon on mental health literacy; Stephen Fry and Ruby Wax as public accounts of living with mental illness; Marcus Rashford's work as a model of advocacy from lived experience.
Neurodivergent-led resources
National Autistic Society and Ambitious about Autism youth voice programmes; ADHD Foundation; authors Chloé Hayden (Different, Not Less), Ellie Middleton (Unmasked) and Fern Brady (Strong Female Character); Naoki Higashida for non-speaking perspective. Regulation, masking and burnout are taught from these first-person accounts rather than from deficit descriptions.
Healthy relationships and RSE
Brook for age-appropriate RSE; Everyone's Invited (founded by Soma Sara) for the consent and peer-on-peer harm content KCSIE requires; the Anti-Bullying Alliance; Disrespect NoBody campaign materials. Where scenarios are written, the people in them are drawn from a range of backgrounds and family structures, and at least one scenario in each block features a neurodivergent young person navigating boundaries.
Digital safety organisations
Childline and Report Remove (with the IWF) for image removal; CEOP for reporting; Internet Matters and the UK Safer Internet Centre for guidance; Glitch (founded by Seyi Akiwowo) on online abuse, especially of Black women and girls. The catfishing and misinformation scenarios in the playground reference these routes by name so learners leave with a real next step.
Money, health and rights
MoneyHelper and Citizens Advice for money and rights; NHS 111 and the learner's GP practice for health appointments; Scope and Disability Rights UK for reasonable-adjustment rights at work and college; the Equality Act 2010 in plain language. Independent-adult planning names the organisations a learner will actually contact, with the door-to-door route mapped.
Voices for identity work
Akala (Natives), Afua Hirsch (Brit(ish)) and Malala Yousafzai for identity and voice; Lemn Sissay (My Name Is Why) for care-experienced identity; Greta Thunberg for autism as a strength in advocacy. Chosen because they model self-advocacy, the skill the DDP identity phase is built around.
