To support our partners in education in keeping our children safe, the Kent and Medway Violence Reduction Unit have purchased access to the Pol-Ed Programme.
Because of this, Pol-Ed is now completely FREE to all Kent and Medway schools including Primary, Secondary and Colleges!
It has been written by PSHE specialist teachers to be delivered by teachers and is quality assured by the Police for legal accuracy. The materials fit the requirements of the PSHE and RSHE curriculum and is mapped against the PSHE Association objectives.
Pol-Ed offers a range of lessons, assemblies and Pol-Ed Passport lessons all taught live from the Pol-Ed website. Currently the content covers approximately 50% of the PSHE programmes of study, although by October this year our new resources will take that closer to 90%.
Currently the lessons are split into Key Stages with 20 lessons per key stage, but later this year this will move to year groups with a minimum of 20 lessons per year group once fully populated.
The new Primary lessons will be live on the site in June, with our new Secondary lessons by the start of the 25/26 Academic year.
Our brand-new Wellbeing topic area will be live later in the 25/26 Autumn term. Once fully populated, our site will have at least 257 lessons split into year groups, alongside our passport lessons.
These will support you in helping improve your students’ knowledge, whilst developing key attributes, which together will help keep them safe and make positive informed choices.
As mentioned, Pol-Ed is completely free to register your school. Please visit www.pol-ed.co.uk. Once registered, you can add all your teaching staff in the school so they can access the resources with their classes.
If you are a PSHE lead for the school, you may find the report function useful. This allows you to track and analyse which lessons are being delivered within your school.
There is a launch briefing event on WED 21st MAY 3:30pm to 5pm. This will show you the resources, how to sign up and answer any questions you have.
You can sign up to the online briefing by clicking here, by using the QR code on the attached flyer or visiting the Kent and Medway VRU website event section.
We look forward to seeing you all at the launch briefing event.
