Join the UK’s first ever in-person, year-long
RSE training programme.
We believe that high-quality RSE is more than just a subject; it’s a means to build belonging for young people who might feel anxiety, confusion, or isolation as they move into adolescence.
It creates healthy communities by fostering skills like consensual communication, mutual respect, and open dialogue; and it builds a more empathetic society through the dismantling of shame and the creation of a safer, more supportive world for young people to grow up in.
Which is why we’re committed to giving the subject the time, resources and support it truly deserves.
Our Leadership Programme supports professionals to embed inclusive, high-impact practice across their entire organisation, so that every member of the team feels confident and equipped to hold space for young people, ensuring that no matter who they turn to with a question or a concern, they receive the same compassionate, shame-free support.
“We’re in the process of gaining that confidence across the teaching team to be able to deliver a comprehensive curriculum. The RSE Leadership Programme is a great part of that.”
