RSHE coordination note
Reproductive biology content overlaps with the RSHE Sex Education strand. NEO delivers these through the same practitioner-led model, with care given to age-appropriate framing and parental opt-out arrangements (Sex Education only — Health Education and Relationships Education are not opt-out). See the Cornerstones / RSHE / PSHE Mapping v0.1.
