This report evaluates the current PSHE curriculum: whether it is based sufficiently closely on the needs of young people and how the outcomes might be best achieved.

In preparing this report, Ofsted commissioned the Schools Health Education Unit, Exeter, to provide research evidence from its behavioural surveys.
