RSHE 2026 compliance audit: map your whole RSHE curriculum against the new statutory guidance (compulsory Sept 2026), spot gaps and plan for compliance.
Is your RSHE curriculum ready for September 2026? The updated statutory RSHE guidance is compulsory for all schools in England from 1 September 2026, so schemes built on the 2019 guidance are now partly out of date. This pack gives RSHE leads and senior leaders a fast, defensible way to check where they stand — and prove it.

What’s included:

RSHE Audit Tool (Excel) — fillable audit sheets for primary and secondary, covering every statutory strand and content point. Rate each Green / Amber / Red from a drop-down; cells colour automatically and a live summary counts your coverage.
Action Plan tracker — turn every gap into a prioritised action with an owner and deadline.
Policy & Compliance Checklist — the non-curriculum duties (policy review, parental consultation, transparency of materials, right to withdraw, whole-school approach).
Staff CPD confidence audit — pinpoint where staff need training before September 2026.
Guide (Word) — a clear summary of exactly what changed in 2025 and how to run the audit.

Every 2025 change is flagged for you — loss and bereavement, personal safety, online harms and AI/deepfakes, misogyny and VAWG, suicide prevention, vaping, women’s health, and the approach to biological sex and gender are all marked NEW / CHANGED, so you can see at a glance what’s most likely missing.
How to use it: work through the audit with your RSHE/PSHE team, colour-code coverage, log the gaps on the action plan, and complete the policy checklist. The result is an at-a-glance readiness picture for SLT and governors. Fully editable for your school; primary and secondary; ready to use with no setup.
A planning and self-evaluation aid summarising the DfE statutory strands and 2025 changes; it does not replace the official DfE guidance and is not legal advice.
