Bookings are now open for our Spring Conference 2025! Join us online on Thursday 6th March 2025, 9:30 - 13:00 GMT.

This flagship event is an essential gathering for all PSHE leads, teachers, and other professionals eager to connect with like-minded professionals.

As ever, our workshops and keynotes will focus on a range of priorities — from mental and physical health to relationships, safeguarding, and AI literacy — drawing on the latest evidence and expertise. We’ll announce further details as soon as they become available.

Keynote speaker announced [Dr. Chris van Tulleken]

We’re very excited to confirm our first speaker: Dr Chris van Tulleken, Associate Professor at University College London, bestselling author of Ultra-Processed People (Sunday Times, New York Times), and one of the BBC’s leading science broadcasters.

Dr Chris is at the forefront of raising awareness of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and his keynote will explore the impact of UPFs on the physical and mental health of children and young people.

We'll also be launching our brand-new pack of nutrition lesson materials at the conference,  grounded in evidence-based research and designed to support healthy food chooses, including how to identify ultra-processed food and its risks. Conference delegates will get exclusive early access to these resources, so book now to avoid disappointment.

Why should I attend?

Over 600 attendees joined our last Spring Conference, with 95% of delegates reporting that they left feeling “more confident” and “better prepared” to support their school community’s PSHE provision.

Here’s a taste of what to expect:

  • Hear from expert speakers covering a range of current key issues affecting children and young people.
  • Join expert-led CPD workshops on a wide variety of topics including AI literacy, physical and mental health, healthy relationships, and safeguarding (Choose 2 workshops to attend on the day, full details TBC).
  • Connect with like-minded PSHE professionals and our Subject Specialist team via interactive Q&A panels and live chat.
  • Get the latest news and policy updates on the RSHE guidance, Curriculum Review and more. 
  • Get exclusive early access to our nutrition lesson packs (KS1-4), to be launched on the day.
  • Explore our new research-led mental health and wellbeing curriculum for primary schools. These materials (including on-demand CPD options) will help you support pupils to learn knowledge and skills that will support them to take care of their mental health and wellbeing, both now and in the future.

Feedback from previous delegates:

“Excellent keynote speakers and workshops and so relevant to today's challenges and issues we face as educators of this vitally important subject.”

“I left feeling that I have the most up-to-date information to enable me to carry out my role. It’s good to connect with other professionals to share challenges faced when tackling trickier topics.”
