Inclusive RSE for learners with PMLD

A specialist one-day course focusing on creating meaningful and inclusive RSE for learners with PMLD, exploring touch and consent.

This unique one-day course is designed for teachers working with learners with profound and multiple learning disabilities, or combined and complex learning disabilities. This course is ideal for SENCOs, RSE and PSHE subject leads, senior leaders with subject responsibility for the subject, and class teachers delivering RSE to learners with profound and multiple disabilities, and significant learning and physical needs.

Facilitated by RSE Specialist and teacher Rachael Baker, participants will:

• Consider the skills and abilities of your learners, and reflect on how this skillset can be employed to make RSE as meaningful and effective as possible.
• Explore the government RSE guidance and examine how the learning can be differentiated to make a meaningful and appropriate curriculum for learners with PMLD.
• Reflect on best practice in RSE as a discrete subject and throughout school life, including friendships, touch, personal care and learner wellbeing.
• Examine some accessible techniques and resources to approach key topics such as consent and touch, and public and private.
• Consider how to address sexualised behaviour, and how to approach this complex topic in an accessible, dignified and rights-based way.
• Share experience of engaging parents and wider school community with your curriculum to ensure a consistent approach and an effective partnership between home, school or college, and other.

This one-day course will support teachers of learners with PMLD to feel confident that you are offering a robust and meaningful curriculum to your learners, informed by their personal needs and appropriate to their age and stage. The training will enable you to develop a curriculum that is needs led, differentiated and personalised.

"Really brilliant to have a full day of PMLD specific training. It is hard to find anything that suits our learners and this was brilliant. Great variety of learning approaches, the discussions in pairs really enabled joint working and exchanging of ideas." (Participant on previous course)
