All recognised primary and post-primary schools are required to offer relationships and sexuality education, RSE. The subject is an integral part of the social, personal and health education, SPHE, curriculum at primary level and junior cycle post-primary level. In addition, all second level schools are required to have an agreed school policy and a suitable relationships and sexuality education programme in place for senior cycle pupils. An integrated SPHE programme at senior cycle incorporating RSE is being developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment.
