Face to face and webinar based training
We create our teacher training in a very bespoke way to ensure we meet the needs of your school community and reflect your values & ethos. You can pick and choose what you want and need. Training is best when it is regular and revisited. So we urge schools to see this as an ongoing commitment, not just a ‘one off’.
Many schools are working hard to combat issues such as misogyny and harmful gender stereotypes as well as addressing inclusion, consent culture, child-on-child abuse and harmful sexual behaviours. Similarly, conversations about substances can happen in different situations and settings. Although death and bereavement are topics that will affect everyone at some point in their lives, many people find these difficult subjects to address.As such, all adults in the school community will benefit from our RSHE training – so please consider including & upskilling everyone. We can assure you it will be engaging, interactive & discursive for even the widest audiences.

Boarding Houseparents: ‘Being part of the RSHE conversation in residential settings’

This boarding house session will join up the dots so that your house staff feel really empowered to support your RSHE delivery beyond the classroom. 

We know that these adults have a significant role in the pastoral care of your students… carrying on conversations and playing and important part in your Safeguarding procedures. This session will give them the tools to understand what actually happens in RSHE lessons, why/how it is delivered at its best, as well as emphasising the skills and ethos we hope they are modelling back in houses.

  • Contextualising RSHE and you – some reflective work
  • Looking at current UK data on sex & relationships
  • Pornography, explicit content & harmful behaviour
  • Statutory RSHE that is positive and protective
  • The challenges of tricky conversations in house
  • Q&A and signposting for further information
With smaller groups we are able to model more active sessions and object-based learning. We encourage exploration, conversation and play. So if your training is face-to-face, we have a variety of games and hands-on activities for your team to engage with in small groups. For that reason you may consider break out rooms and a carousel. Just ask if you’d like to find out more.
