RSHE Reforms Aim to Rebalance Emotional Literacy in Schools

The Department for Education has confirmed changes to the Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) curriculum, set to begin in September 2026. One major update is a renewed focus on helping children recognise that emotions like low mood, sadness and worry are often part of normal development not always indicators of a diagnosable mental health condition.

This move responds to growing concern that current approaches may be over-medicalising everyday emotional experiences. The revised curriculum aims to equip children with the tools to name, manage and understand emotions more realistically, while also reinforcing emotional resilience.

For schools, families and mentoring organisations, this signals an important shift. It’s a chance to prioritise emotional safety and healthy dialogue helping children feel heard without needing to be “fixed.”

The success of this approach will depend on implementation. Staff and parents will need support and training to navigate conversations about mental health in ways that are honest, balanced and age-appropriate.

Our activity book support staff and children with their Emotional Literacy! Available in the UK and USA from Amazon.

We used to focus on control. Sanctions, detentions, isolations. Standard responses to challenging behaviour. But they never addressed the root cause.

This child didn’t need punishment. He needed someone to listen.

Through mentoring, he finally had space to talk, process and feel seen. We focused on understanding, not compliance. The shift wasn’t instant, but it was real. With consistency and care, he started showing up differently. More regulated. More connected. More hopeful.

Now he’s taken that experience and used it to support another child in a different school facing similar struggles. Not as a peer who behaved better, but as someone who truly gets it. He knows what it feels like to be misunderstood and isolated, and that makes him powerful.

That’s the real impact of mentoring. Not just turning behaviour around, but helping young people become part of the solution for others.
