A school, who we have worked with for just 12 months, contacted us recently with this feedback. We are blown away. To think our programme is opening doors for students that they thought were closed and giving them a voice is an incredible feeling.

Today the DfE released their new RSHE guidance for primary and secondary schools.
There are some really positive changes. For example, the topic of bereavement is now statutory.
We are working hard behind the scenes to make sure our programme meets the new guidance.
