The NCB (a Drug Education Forum member) have a briefing on whole school aproaches to PSHE and Citizenship education:

Children and young people need support in developing emotionally and socially so they are able to use their thoughts and feelings to guide their behaviour positively and develop personal awareness, emotional resilience and social skills. This will enable them to enjoy and manage their lives, be effective learners and active citizens. High quality Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship help improve behaviour, attainment and inclusion, and promote health and well-being.

This booklet clarifies the National Children’s Bureau’s beliefs about best practice in PSHE and Citizenship. It is for Heads of PSHE and Citizenship and their partners in schools and the wider community. It can also be used by those supporting schools as part of their support, advice and professional development package. Healthy Schools underpins PSHE and Citizenship and this briefing will therefore be helpful for Healthy School Coordinators.
