EPS Supporting Children & Young People Through Bereavement and Loss

The course will introduce and explore psychological theories relating to bereavement and consider how children and young people process and understand loss at different cognitive developmental ages.

The course adopts the view that all students will experience significant loss in their lives and, as such, they need to have coping mechanisms and positive strategies to manage their emotions. How we can support students, activities we can use with them and what we can do to help them process their loss will be discussed. 

Please note, this course will talk about loss, death and bereavement and therefore please think about your own emotional wellbeing before signing up to attend. In addition, please think about what you are doing after the course and ensure you have (as much as possible) some time to process the things we will discuss.

At the end of this course, participants will:

  • Have a raised awareness of the extent of trauma, loss and bereavement in children’s lives
  • Consider the grieving process and begin to understand some child bereavement theories
  • Understand the developmental nature of children’s responses to death
  • To think about strategies for supporting children who have been bereaved

GHLL Primary Relationships (Sex) and Health Education - Curriculum Training and Resources Workshop

9.30 – 12.15pm Part One

Led by GHLL primary teachers, this morning session will dive into the new DfE RSHE Statutory Guidance 2025 for Primary Schools. Delegates will explore the changes made to the previous document and look at how to ensure their R(S)HE curriculum meets the DfE requirements, whilst also tailoring it to their setting and the needs of their pupils. Whether a commercial package is used to deliver the R(S)HE curriculum or freely available resources are used, this session will help to support schools in providing a spiral, responsive, progressive curriculum, bespoke to their setting.

This training session will cover:
· New statutory requirements for R(S)HE (to be implemented by Sept 2026) including policies and curriculum content
· Guidance for auditing and reviewing provision in school
· Suggestions for parent and pupil consultation
· Understanding of the principles of good R(S)HE teaching
· Suggestions for dealing with awkward questions, setting ground rules and managing parental concerns
· Signposting to quality-marked free resources to support the curriculum

1pm – 3.30pm Part Two

During this afternoon workshop session, we will dive into the various GHLL primary resources, all of which have been developed by practising teachers to support pupils in their physical and emotional development. The GHLL Lead Teachers can advise on how to build the resources into your school’s current PSHE curriculum, and share ways in which they have been implemented in other schools and the outcomes they have provided.

During the session you will have the opportunity to discuss methods to measure the impact of your PSHE teaching, and ways in which the children’s learning and understanding can be recorded and assessed.

Some of the resources explored in this session will include:

  • Counting Sleep
  • Make Me a Superhero
  • Peer Mediation
  • Understanding Dementia
  • Keeping Myself Safe
  • Focused for Learning

 

The last part of the session allows time for delegates to view other resources freely available to schools and the chance to share ways in which they can be mapped into a school’s provision.

Getting Court for Teachers/ Lecturers

Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning have been offered a unique opportunity to invite secondary teachers and lecturers to visit Gloucester Crown Court whilst it is in session. This will provide educational professionals with a unique insight into the English Criminal Justice system, support and inform the teaching of The Law, PSHE and Citizenship. As you know our ‘Getting Court’ scheme has been offering this opportunity for students for many years. Judge Lawrie is very keen to offer teachers the same chance! There will be an opportunity for teachers to ask questions of Judge Lawrie during the morning.

Message to all teachers from Judge Lawrie:

“Getting Court has now been running for 10 years. Different schools attend Gloucester Crown Court each month and learn about the rule of law and how the Criminal Justice System works. They watch real cases and see real defendants being sentenced. Sometimes they observe a jury returning with a verdict.

What has become very clear is that teachers who themselves attend know very little about how the Criminal Justice System works and those who have attended have found the morning both interesting and rewarding. I am passionate about explaining to all-comers how the system works, how it affects everyday life, its strengths and weaknesses and the type of people who find themselves in the dock.

Please come along to Court. I think you will find it personally interesting, and it will give you information to help keep young people informed about our judicial system”.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis, initially at one place per school/college. If you would like to attend this event at Gloucester Crown Court then please select 'Book Now' and complete the form.

EPS Emotion Coaching and Establishing Zones of Regulation

This training session aims to introduce and explore the concept of emotion coaching as a tool adults can use to support children and young people to develop their emotional awareness and understanding. Emotion Coaching has been found to help children regulate, improve and take ownership of their behaviour as well as better understand their emotions. The training also considers the use of whole-school approaches to emotion coaching such as Zones of Regulation and how schools and other key adults can adopt these frameworks to facilitate the emotional development of the children and young people they support.

British Values and Protected Characteristics in Primary Education

Are You Ready for the New Ofsted Expectations?

Embedding British Values and Protected Characteristics in Your School

A One-Day Training for Senior Leaders and PSHE Leads

With new Ofsted inspection guidance, schools must show how they are embedding British Values and the nine Protected Characteristics across the whole curriculum and school culture.

“No matter what type of school they attend, it is important that all children gain an understanding of the world they are growing up in, and learn how to live alongside, and show respect for, a diverse range of people.” – Ofsted, 2025

This practical, high-impact training will help you turn expectations into action and ensure your school is confident, compliant, and inspection-ready.

In This Interactive Day, You Will:

  • Clarify where British Values and Protected Characteristics fit within your Personal Development and RSHE curriculum
  • Understand what Ofsted are looking for under the new inspection guidance
  • Discover effective, high-quality resources to support delivery
  • Network and share best practice with colleagues from other schools
  • Create your own Action Plan to strengthen provision and evidence impact

Perfect for Senior Leaders and PSHE Leads to attend together if possible, ensuring joined-up thinking and a robust whole-school approach. Please bring a laptop.

Empower your team. Strengthen your provision.

Be ready to show Ofsted how your school lives its values.

EPS Supporting Children & Young People Through Bereavement and Loss

The course will introduce and explore psychological theories relating to bereavement and consider how children and young people process and understand loss at different cognitive developmental ages.

The course adopts the view that all students will experience significant loss in their lives and, as such, they need to have coping mechanisms and positive strategies to manage their emotions. How we can support students, activities we can use with them and what we can do to help them process their loss will be discussed. 

Please note, this course will talk about loss, death and bereavement and therefore please think about your own emotional wellbeing before signing up to attend. In addition, please think about what you are doing after the course and ensure you have (as much as possible) some time to process the things we will discuss.

At the end of this course, participants will:

  • Have a raised awareness of the extent of trauma, loss and bereavement in children’s lives
  • Consider the grieving process and begin to understand some child bereavement theories
  • Understand the developmental nature of children’s responses to death
  • To think about strategies for supporting children who have been bereaved
