Definition of PSHE

Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) is a planned programme of learning opportunities and experiences that help young people grow and develop as individuals and as members of families and communities.

Overview of the programme

We provide a comprehensive tutor-led training programme. Each session progressively builds upon the previous session enabling participants to apply an evidence based approach to their teaching and strategic developments. Participants will be required to plan and deliver a PSHE lesson which will be observed - this forms part of the reflective approach underpinning the programme. All necessary course materials are provided; these will support participants during each of the training days and will help to direct further independent reading and study.

Who should attend?

Teachers, HLTAs, community nurses, police officers, teaching assistants, youth workers, fire and safety officers and other professionals delivering and supporting PSHE in schools and other settings.
