PSHE
(Personal, Social, Health & Economics Education)
We focus on developing the knowledge, skill and attributes to keep our service users healthy and safe and build on their life skills. PSHE education is defined to promote the development and growth as individuals and as members of families and social and economic communities. The goal is to equip our people with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safely, productively and responsibly.
How can we do this?
By providing opportunities, activities and experiences for our service users that allow them to grow, develop, have choices, lead a healthy and happy lifestyle and contribute to the local community and the wider world in a positive way.
