The VRU fully funded the @LifeLessonsRSE pilot which was undertaken with 30 secondary provisions across Kent & Medway and was to test a different delivery of PHSE. This was because of a study by the Youth Endowment Fund in 2022 with showed evidence based PHSE leads to 20% reduction in violence. Our funded pilot involved 9,716 school children and 750 Professionals. Life Lessons is an enhanced trauma-informed PHSE approach to aid a trauma-responsive whole-school culture, building resilience in young people which also supports positive messages around being an active bystander both inside and outside of the school gates. Schools from all sectors, Grammar, SEN, Faith and mainstream, are included and have shown to be keen to develop and enhance their existing PHSE, with an understanding that robust education in SEMH and contextual issues is valued as a key prevention strategy to risks of harm. The results in the pictures speak for themselves about how good the work was that Life Lessons completed. To find out more, visit our website (link in bio) #SaferTogether
