Regional networks are key to raising the standards of PSHE education, including RSHE, and sharing best practice. This summer, we're holding 8 regional face-to-face PSHE seminars across England.
Uniquely different to our other training and events, our PSHE seminars aim to encourage and grow regional networks where members can share local knowledge and experiences, discuss key topics, ask questions, and make connections with other PSHE colleagues in their region. We will also have a chance to learn about your priority PSHE/RSHE issues and challenges, so we can best support you. You can find all our learning and a full round-up here: Regional Seminars Roundup & Highlights 2024
