Calling all PSHE Leads

CPD Session with Body Happy Org
Thursday, 20 March 2025
3.30 to 5pm
Online via Zoom

Help the children and young people in your care celebrate, respect and accept all bodies - especially their own.

More than half of children and young people feel bad about their bodies. This is impacting student wellbeing, engagement in learning and educational outcomes. Despite body image being part of statutory education, schools and caregivers can lack the training, support and systemic understanding to meaningfully address the issue. We’re here to address this.

Body Happy CPD workshops from The Body Happy Organisation offer body image training for those who work with children, with a focus on building cultures of body respect in their settings.

All of our sessions offer an introduction to the topic of body image, with practical tools and evidence-based solutions to foster inclusive learning environments that nurture the body esteem of children and young people, improving their wellbeing, reducing safeguarding concerns, and improving engagement in sport and PE, as well as engagement in class. Whether you work with children in EYFS, or young people in KS4, we can support you to create an environment that promotes positive body esteem, inclusion and body respect, through an interactive CPD workshops.

To book, email kchft.schoolhealthplan@nhs.net.

The 2024/25 Programme of training and support will be published soon. Please contact Sam.Whittaker@eastsussex.gov.uk if you have any queries or need any support.
