Dear Principals,
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment  is conducting a review of Relationship and Sexuality Education in Primary and Post-Primary Schools.

It is seeking the views of teachers and parents on this topic and has prepared an online survey  for parents , post-primary students and teachers. Could you ask your teachers and parents to complete the surveys below, to ensure that this review is as

comprehensive  as possible.
In addition to the surveys, NCCA are requesting submissions from any interested parties, whether individuals or organisations  and a template submission form is included below for any parents or teachers who would like to contribute their views/experiences in relation to Relationship and Sexuality Education in Primary and Post- Primary Schools. If your school or any individuals would like to make a submission, please download the submission template and submit it to RSEreview@ncca.ie. The form is available under the documents section.
NCCA have made a research paper on Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) in Primary and Post-Primary Schools available for participants.
The paper can be downloaded here:

Please note that the closing date for surveys and submissions has been extended to Friday 15th February 2019.
