Sometimes the support that schools and services require is better provided by in-school training and/or consultancy. 
This is usually in the form of either

• whole school session on a particular topic, such as safeguarding or food safety 
• specific support for particular staff, such as support on developing a scheme of work or
• a planned series of support e.g. click here for details of the PSHE modelling programme or protective behavious
• sessions for parents and/or pupils, for example, drug awareness.

The in-school support can be a whole day, half day, twilight or a series on sessions - it all depends on what best meets your school's requirements.

For information about the range of Insets please contact the Health Education Service.

If you want to develop your skills in planning and delivering PSHE and relationships and sex education (RSE) and to gain a wider understanding of the issues then you could do the PSHE CPD programme. 

The programme seeks to lead to increasing participants’ capacity for professional autonomy, and the structure is based on models of effective CPD which lead to transformative practice. It will enable participants to not only develop their own practice but also be more confident leaders of PSHE in their schools and to act as facilitators of change.

For more information please contact Andrew Cooper, Education Adviser.
