Regional programme

Our regional programme at a glance

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. Ongoing conversations with these regional leads helps us 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.

Our regional programme includes the following touchpoints, designed to support you across the entire academic year:

• Our regional coordinators
• Regional training and networking events
• Staff training for school groups, local authorities and MATs
• Attendance at PSHE/RSHE network meetings
• Tailored support and guidance for your local context
• Group membership

Our regional coordinators

Each region in England is supported by one of our dedicated Subject Specialists, who works directly with schools, local authorities, public health teams, MATs and PSHE/RSHE networks to continuously learn more about how we can best support you and your local priorities in terms of guidance, resources, and training.

Some examples of their regional activity include:

• delivering live CPD training sessions to individual schools, as well as groups of schools at city, borough or county-level
• attending termly network meetings hosted by local PSHE/RSHE hubs
• providing targeted guidance to local authorities on PSHE curriculum planning

Ultimately, our regional coordinators are here to help you address the most important local challenges affecting the children and young people you serve while ensuring safe, effective and high-quality PSHE education at a national level.

Staff training for school groups, local authorities and MATs

We can deliver high-quality live CPD training sessions for multiple schools within the same group, including multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) and local authorities.

Training can be delivered as one-off sessions or as part of a longer-term programme across school terms within the academic year.

Attendance at your PSHE/RSHE network meetings

PSHE/RSHE hubs can invite us to attend and contribute to network meetings that they host at a local or regional level. This can include sharing the latest policy updates including statutory RSHE requirements, supporting PSHE planning and implementation, and leading discussions around PSHE initiatives and current challenges for your hub.

Please note: In addition to attending network meetings hosted by PSHE hubs, we also run our own online regional PSHE/RSHE network meetings in Autumn and Spring terms.

Group membership

We offer discounted membership for larger organisations including multiple schools under the same local authority and MATs. Our tailored group membership packages are designed to support all schools in your network to deliver safe, effective and high-quality PSHE education.
