Consultancy, Training & CPD Courses

PSHE

Working in partnership to support all children and young people in Hertfordshire to achieve health and well being.

The PSHE and Citizenship Adviser offers bespoke training, CPD, and consultancy (including PSHE/SRE school reviews, INSET, twilights, surgery sessions, workshops, policy advice and updates, network meetings and 1:1 support) for a varied audience including PSHE leads, members of the school leadership team, headteachers, governors, parents, teaching assistants, parent workers, school health advisers and local authority advisers.

Karen Summers
PSHE and Citizenship Adviser

The PSHE and Citizenship Adviser is a member of the National Advisory Council for the PSHE Association and the Hertfordshire Healthy Schools Team.  She works in partnership with representatives of the Personal Finance Education Group (PfEG) and this has recently culminated in Hertfordshire Standards and School Effectiveness gaining ‘My Money’ accreditation as a ‘Centre of Excellence for Personal Finance Education’.

Training is in line with PSHE and Citizenship OFSTED subject specific guidance as well as OFSTED criteria for pupil outcomes (A2.6 – A2.11) and National Curriculum guidance (statutory and non-statutory). 

An enhanced understanding will be gained in how to raise standards in both PSHE and/or Citizenship Education and the way in which this can impact on pupil achievement and wellbeing. 

Guidance will be given in developing the PSHE/Citizenship curriculum in order to support pupils’ contribution at both local and wider community level.  Self-evaluation, improvement planning and effective ways to lead and manage PSHE education and Citizenship education will be integral to the support provided.
