Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE)

What is PSHE education?

PSHE is a planned programme of learning opportunities and experiences that deal with the real life issues children and young people face as they grow up. It comprises two strands: personal well-being and economic well-being.

The personal well-being strand can cover issues such as:

• sex and relationships education;

• drug and alcohol education;

• emotional health and well-being;

• diet and healthy lifestyle; and

• safety education.

The economic well-being strand can cover issues such as:

• careers education;

• work-related learning;

• enterprise education; and

• financial capability.
