RSE in special schools, AP and SEMH settings
Training for staff in special schools, alternative provision and SEMH settings, built on individualised, trauma-informed approaches.
Book this trainingWhy this training
Staff in special schools, alternative provision and SEMH settings teach RSE to pupils who need it adapted to how they communicate and learn. We teach RSE directly in these settings through Circuits, our workbook-led programme for SEND and AP, and we’ve trained staff, written policy and run workshops in special schools and alternative provision, including SEMH settings. This session brings that work to your staff.
It draws on our guides to RSE for pupils with SEND and developing RSE in special schools.
What staff will be able to do
- Adapt RSE content to pupils' communication styles and learning needs, using visual and concrete approaches.
- Plan RSE for pupils who learn in a non-linear way.
- Use individualised, trauma-informed approaches in RSE lessons.
- Manage disclosures in a specialist setting, in line with KCSIE.
- Work with parents and carers on what is taught and why.

Questions about this session
Is this the same as Circuits?
No. Circuits is RSE taught directly to your pupils by a Tailor educator. This session trains your own staff, drawing on the same approach.
Can it be built around our pupils?
Yes. Tell us about your pupils' needs when you book, and the session is planned around them.
