Thank-you for sharing this challenging research Lucy. As education becomes increasingly evidence-informed, our R(S)HE/PSHE provision needs to be more effective in using approaches that are more likely to improve the learning and life chances of children and young people.

I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools

I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling.

Mental-health lessons in schools sound like a great idea. The trouble is, they don’t work | Lucy Foulkes

All-class therapy sessions don’t help, and may even make matters worse. The evidence shows we need different solutions, says Dr Lucy Foulkes, an academic psychologist at Oxford University

I sympathise and agree entirely Debra, a simple ruling is not enough, we need a sea change in public opinion, which needs to start with Education.

This is not an interpretation that respects the rights of everyone. Those of us with transgender children are now being asked questions like 'why does the whole world hate us' and 'am I going to be beaten up if I try to go to the toilet?' and 'do you think someone will hate me enough to kill me?'

I doubt we will see clear guidance anytime soon. Instead we will have 100 schools implementing 100 different responses. It will be a mess of court cases and appeals for months or years.

In the meantime young people will suffer being political footballs for adults fighting.

The importance of #RSHE #PSHE to keep pupils safe and improve learning should not be underestimated - especially when teachers do not feel adequately trained to address these societal challenges: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Influencers fuelling misogyny in schools, teachers say

Almost three in five teachers believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, according to a union poll.

Sheffield pupils want Netflix drama Adolescence to be shown in schools

John Rees FCCT @pshesolutions.bsky.social · Mar 31

Although I am a strong advocate for 'pupil voice', there a number of reasons that the brilliant drama 'Adolescence' should not be shown in schools. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pupils in year 9 at Meadowhead School in Sheffield believe Adolescence should be shown to students.
