Sexual Safety, Safeguarding & RSHE

Engendering Change supports schools, colleges and universities to take a proactive, evidence-based approach to sexual safety, safeguarding and respectful relationships.

We help education settings move beyond reactive responses, embedding clear expectations, shared language and a culture where young people feel safe, respected and able to speak up.

Our work strengthens prevention, supports statutory RSE and safeguarding duties, and builds confidence across the whole institution.

“I love this. It really opened my eyes and changed my whole way of thinking around sex education. Education is power. Thank you for highlighting this.”

— Davina McCall

Jo’s Book: Empowering Relationships and Sex Education

Relationships and Sex Education is now statutory, yet many schools still face uncertainty around content, confidence and consistency.

Empowering Relationships and Sex Education supports teachers and leaders to deliver high-quality, safeguarding-focused RSE. It addresses key areas including consent, inclusion, sexual behaviour and gender, helping schools move beyond minimum statutory guidance toward clear, confident provision.

Practical and accessible, the book equips educators to develop RSE programmes that strengthen safeguarding, wellbeing and respectful relationships.

Jo’s back on Natasha Devon’s LBC show

Jo Morgan is back on Natasha’s show to discuss the rise in child-on-child sexual abuse in schools.

The Guardian: Today In Focus

Jo Morgan tells Helen Pidd why she believes children should be getting more comprehensive sex education, not less. She reflects on the questions children ask her about sex, and why limited education on sex, health and relationships can leave children vulnerable to abuse and misinformation. She argues that the age cut-offs could leave children without an understanding of personal boundaries and having their periods starting before they have been taught what they are.
