Youth Select Committee seeks views on PSHE teaching

Members of the newly formed Youth Select Committee have launched a call for evidence as part of their inquiry into Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education in secondary schools. 
 
The panel of young people aged between 14 and 19 want to hear from experts, educators, youth organisations and schools, as well as young people themselves to better understand how PSHE is taught across the UK and how it prepares students for adult life. 
 
The Youth Select Committee is particularly interested in hearing from students, guardians, and people working in education, about their experiences with PSHE, including how sensitive topics are approached and how gaps in knowledge may affect outcomes later in life. 
 
The topic of the inquiry was voted as one of the most pressing issue by Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs), who applied for membership of the Youth Select Committee. The Committee then agreed on the terms of reference, ahead of the launch of the inquiry. 
 
The inquiry seeks to explore a range of questions, including whether PSHE is taught consistently across schools and nations and how teachers are supported in delivering sensitive topics.
 
The Committee invites written contributions by 5pm on 13th November 2025 by emailing.
