The Achieve Well Team would like to work with a group of secondary aged young people to co-produce a suite of PSHE resources.
This is an exciting opportunity for the young people involved to create resources that will be rolled out across the city. Following training on what is good practice in PSHE, the young people will critique existing resources, and share their ideas for what they would like to see. The young people will be involved at each stage of the production of the resources which we aim to showcase at the Nottingham Healthy Child Conference.
To inform the project, we are asking schools to complete a short form to express their interest and share their views. If you are interested and would like your school to be involved please click the link and complete the form.
