Supports the new RSHE guidance
Written to support the Department for Education's revised RSHE guidance, in place from September 2026, including personal and travel safety, drugs and alcohol, and managing risk and peer influence.
It also fits the PSHE Association programme of study at key stage 4:
- H22: managing personal safety in new settings
- H23: recognising risky situations, including drugs and alcohol, and getting help
- R35: how our behaviour influences our peers
Book a BYLC workshop
Our team runs interactive workshops for year groups, assemblies, sixth forms and colleges, with VR and impairment goggles.
The content was relevant and good. The students really liked the interactive part of the workshop. They were engaged and interested throughout the sessions.
