GHLL Training programme

'Keeping Myself Safe' is based on the Protective Behaviours programme and is a school-based resource designed to teach KS1 and Upper KS2 children:

• that they all have the right to be safe all the time
• how to recognise situations where they do not feel safe
• how to manage unsafe situations
• how to recognise their network of support

The resource can be used alongside other GHLL resources to help schools deliver elements of the PinK Curriculum, and in particular the ‘Developing Risk Management’ theme at both KS1 and KS2.

GHLL Review

Are you new to this or is your accreditation up for renewal?

In order to gain the Gloucestershire Healthy Schools or the Gloucestershire Healthy FE accreditation, you need to complete a Review, which we have designed with a view to minimising the bureaucracy previously associated with the national Healthy Schools reporting forms.

It is intended to help you capture the essence of what it means for your school to be a Healthy School, or your college to have a Healthy FE accreditation. Primarily, it's a self-assessment checklist enabling you to celebrate what's working well and to identify areas where you might want to take some action.

This session will be lead by GHLL Lead Teachers to give you practical support in this area.

PinK Curriculum Training

Following on from the highly successful GHLL Safeguarding Event we are running extra practical support training sessions for you to embed the Safeguarding Curriculum in your own setting.

When attending GHLL Review/PinK training you will need to bring a laptop with you – please ensure it is fully charged.  Before you attend, please ensure that you are able to use the laptop outside of your school environment and in particular that you are able to sign on (you will need your GHLL review login and password, also that you can access the GHLL website without it being blocked by your school or college).            

                     This interactive CPD session shares the implementation, and outcomes, of GHLL’s positive playtimes practice. With the introduction of zoned playgrounds, that directly link to the ‘5 ways of wellbeing’, incidents of isolation and poor behaviour have dropped dramatically. These zones not only provide a wellbeing boost for all pupils, but also through planning with the midday supervisors, enable more vulnerable pupils to get targeted boosts in their specific areas of need. This Positive Playgrounds practice not only gives schools the tools to target pupils who need wellbeing boosts, but also shares what wellbeing is, why it is important and how to assess the wellbeing impact you currently have on your pupils.

Suicide Prevention resource ‘Beyond Fed Up’ has been written by teachers for teachers, with the intention of enabling classroom teachers to tackle this sensitive subject. It aims to help young people understand their own mental health, to build resilience, know ways in which they can support other young people who are having a difficult time and to recognise when they need to seek help.

This MHFA course will teach you how to:

• Spot the early signs of a mental health problem in young people
• Feel confident helping a young person experiencing a problem
• Provide help on a first aid basis
• Help protect a young person who might be at risk of harm
• Help prevent a mental health illness from getting worse
• Help a young person recover faster
• Guide a young person towards the right support
• Reduce the stigma of mental health problems

This session introduces the Mental Health Champion Award. It takes you through the procedures and requirements necessary to achieve the award and also shows the support available.

The award gives schools an opportunity to showcase good practice of mental health for both students and staff and to help them identify areas in their provision that would benefit from further development.

Please note - to achieve this award schools should either be working towards completing the GHLL Award or already have been awarded it. It cannot be done as a stand-alone award.

Find out more about the prevalence and impact of homophobic, bi-phobic and transphobic bullying in schools, as well as ways that you can prevent and tackle it in your setting.

Seven out of ten students who have experienced homophobic bullying say it has had an impact on their schoolwork; half say they have skipped school to avoid bullies. In some cases, the exclusion of LGBT people from the curriculum, and the reinforcement of negative messages around sexual orientation and gender identity, can severely affect self esteem.

• Learn practical techniques to train other staff in your school on how to tackle homophobic, bi-phobic and transphobic bullying, and celebrate difference.

• Practical ways to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people.

• Gain an overview of the current state of homophobic, bi-phobic and transphobic bullying and its impact on pupil achievement and school performance.
