Regional programme

Where you're based geographically can play a key role in how PSHE education is delivered within your school, local authority and wider region.

 

Our regional programme is shaped by our close relationships with local authority and public health PSHE/RSHE leads working on the ground across England.

 

Through building relationships and holding ongoing conversations with these regional leads, we stay up to date with local priorities and challenges — ensuring our support is practical and grounded in the real-world experiences of those planning and delivering PSHE in different regions.

Our regional coordinators

Each region in England is supported by one of our dedicated Subject Specialists — working in a feedback loop with schools, local authorities, public health teams, MATs and PSHE/RSHE networks to learn more about your local priorities and needs on the ground.

This work includes:

  • delivering live CPD training sessions to individual schools and groups of schools at city-, borough- or county-level;
  • attending termly network meetings hosted by local PSHE/RSHE hubs, including sharing policy updates on statutory RSHE;
  • providing targeted guidance to local authorities on PSHE curriculum planning.

Our regional coordinators are here to help you address pressing local issues, ensuring you have everything you need to deliver high-quality, safe and PSHE education to the children and young people in your region.

If you'd like to be put in touch directly with one of our regional coordinators, please email info@pshe-association.org.uk with your question. The regions our coordinators cover are the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, East of England, South West, South East, South Central (coastal region) and London.

    "Our PSHE hubs have been working with the PSHE Association for a number of years; the trainers are all subject experts and the sessions are always  'user-friendly', making participants feel comfortable to make contributions and comments. Our staff always feel they leave with practical ideas and solutions, and sharing of good practice is encouraged throughout the trainings. Thank you to the PSHE Association for such high-quality CPD." — Local Authority PSHE lead (South East England), Autumn 2024
