PSHE/Citizenship Staff Skills Audit

(0)
PSHE/Citizenship is taught by a range of staff in my school. I use the skills audit to establish what skills the teaching staff have and where they might be able to assist others, areas of training required - which helps me plan our area meeting. It's helpful for planning and means that we can make the most of the diverse range of skills.

Yr 12/13 Tutor Session: First Aid

Designed for Yr 12s or Yr 13s. The ppt runs through first aid - for bleeding, burns, unresponsiveness and choking. There is a relevant news article, quiz and then information for ‘what to do if...’ I also ordered a number of resusci annes from the BHF (10 free to schools) - these come with a training DVD and we worked through this. Students liked it, especially the practical aspect. I have other Yr 12 and 13 Tutor materials uploaded also.
