Overview/ Background/Remit
Following a rigorous application process, throughout 2020/21 L.E.A.D. Equate worked with the DfE to deliver a package of training and support for the statutory implementation of R.S.H.E across the South Yorkshire, East Midlands and Humber region. This DfE approved package of support ensured that primary, secondary and special schools were compliant with the requirements of the statutory framework. The five key areas of support were:

• Confident and skilled R.S.H.E. delivery
• Effective monitoring and assessment of R.S.H.E

Impact so far....
The RSHE delivery so far has been fortunate enough to train over 500 schools. In this,we have been able to train the RSHE team to deliver a high quality input to all schools and offer follow up support. As a result of this model we have had positive feedback such as:
"I can't tell you how incredibly amazing the sessions I have attended have been, and how grateful I am for the amazing work from the presenters and all those behind the scenes that have made this possible. These sessions you have provided have helped me beyond any other training I have ever had, and I am beyond thankful to you. Thank you so much! In particular can I thank Donna for all her hard work in arranging everything and sorting us all out, and Nick Lever for an incredible training afternoon and his unbelievably wonderful ongoing support."
