Introducing external visitors (e.g. healthcare professionals, members of the local community, parents or carers) can enhance children’s learning during RSE & PSHE lessons. These visitors can provide unique insights, perspectives and first-hand experiences, helping children develop a deeper understanding and appreciate the real-life application of their learning.
