It is open to all PSHE education teachers in the West Midlands, with priority given to those from Birmingham and surrounding areas if over-subscribed. The session will explore what makes young people vulnerable to radicalisation, and the protective and preventative factors PSHE education can develop to reduce extremism risks.
The twilight is provided with funding from the Home Office as part of its ‘Building a Stronger Britain Together’ programme, awarded by the London Community Foundation programme.
Attendees will gain practical support to review, plan and implement a PSHE education curriculum that effectively safeguards pupils, including:
- Awareness of the knowledge, skills and attributes PSHE education develops to support resilience to extremist ideologies of all kinds
- An increased understanding of extremism, the process of radicalisation and of PSHE education’s role in safeguarding pupils, in line with schools’ statutory duties
- Knowledge of resources to support safe and effective lesson delivery
Book your free place by visiting the Services for Education website.
The session will be held at Services for Education, 3 Holt Court, Holt Street, Birmingham B7 4AX.
Once again, Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire data indicates that around 2/3 secondary pupils rate how their school teaches them about managing money as less than positive. The PSHE Association are hosting a free economic literacy event in October which will support schools with this. Secondary senior leaders and teachers are invited to a FREE development day on how to help students gain confidence in their understanding of the economy and current affairs.
Free seasonal flu vaccinations are now available for all Council staff. Our priority is to ensure these are available to front line staff who are in regular direct contact with the public and service users.
Having a flu jab is completely safe and helps protect you from serious illness as well as helping us protect the most vulnerable people that we support.
Staff are reminded that anyone with a long term condition or pregnant can receive the vaccine free from their GP or pharmacist. If this applies to you, please use this option rather than the staff scheme.
To get a vaccination voucher complete the online form (links below). You will receive an email or SMS text to take to Boots Pharmacy. You can apply for a voucher individually or for a group of up to ten colleagues. Employees who do not have email or SMS access, or are unable to ask a colleague to print off the voucher for them, should telephone the Contact Centre on 0121 704 6000.
Please get your vaccination as soon as possible – vouchers are valid until 31 December 2018.
The course looks at brain development, play, styles of parenting, sleep, temper tantrums, communication and more and is based on the nationally and internationally acclaimed face to face course offered by the Solihull Approach. We have an unlimited multi-user license for as many parents and carers as possible to access these courses completely free of charge. We would be delighted if schools/education providers could promote these courses through their newsletters, emails, web pages etc..
The Bank of England has just launched econoME, a free PSHE education resource for students aged 11 to 16 for teaching about economic wellbeing and the economy. The lessons aim to give young people greater economic awareness and the analytical skills to make informed decisions, using real-world examples. For more information, please follow the link below.
