In the new edition of CYP Now: The future of PSHE education

The cover analysis hears from education experts about what they think the government plans need to include if the quality of PSHE teaching is to be improved.

A key message from the experts is that schools must properly train staff to teach about the social challenges facing young people today, so that PSHE covers issues like cyberbullying, online pornography and grooming.

Other analysis articles in the 1 March edition of CYP Now include a review of the interim findings of the youth justice review and how it could pave the way for major changes for youth offending teams and the Youth Justice Board; and how an Ofsted report into the quality of alternative education highlights the importance of providers, schools and councils working together to ensure information about pupils is properly shared.

Meanwhile, National Youth Safeguarding Forum chair Sam Marks outlines how voluntary youth organisations could play a greater role in protecting children from harm if there was more funding and support from government; and campaigners explain how councils could reduce their use of unsuitable accommodation for care leavers with better planning.

Shadow childcare minister Jenny Chapman outlines the Labour Party’s plans for increasing access to free childcare, fighting against children’s centre closures and how good early years provision is the best way to boost social mobility.

The main feature takes an in-depth look at the growing problem of child-to-parent violence and the different family-based therapeutic approaches being developed across the country to put a stop to the abuse.
