Annual Certificate in Understanding Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence for RSHE/PSHE Leads

RSHE/PSHE leads and staff responsible for delivering the RSHE curriculum should receive high-quality training as part of a whole-school approach towards addressing sexual harassment and online sexual abuse. They should also develop a carefully sequenced RSHE curriculum, that specifically includes sexual harassment and sexual violence, including online, in order to support a culture of zero-tolerance, and so that issues and interventions can be identified early.

This Essential CPD course provides you with the core content you need to ensure you have the knowledge and skills to lead and develop your RSHE curriculum to safeguard children from sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Split into bite-sized modules, the training has been designed to provide maximum learning potential in the leanest, most cost-effective and most time-efficient manner. It has been produced in high-quality remote video CPD format which is accessible on any device, any time, anywhere.

Developed by Lorna Ponambalum, safeguarding expert and senior leadership education professional, the course is split into five modules and encourages audience interaction to support and embed learning. There is a knowledge assessment at the end to help you evidence course completion.
