Lifespace expects to deliver a programme of education for young people between the ages of 11-18 from Autumn 2009 (subject to funding).

The education programme will mainly be school-based in the Stratford-on-Avon district, and will cover a wide range of issues as part of the school's Citizenship (PSHCE) programme, including:

• Self-worth
• Emotional Resilience
• Sexually Transmitted Infections
• HIV-AIDS
• Body Image

(For more info about the specific education workshops click here)

These themes are usually delivered as one hour class workshops (to 20-25 students) and some can be adapted for delivery to larger year groups (e.g 50-150 students).

Lifespace already has a small team of trained educators with over a decade of teaching experience each, and this work builds on the previous work of Complete Relationship Education (CREd) from 1999-2008, which was the forerunner to Lifespace Education.

Lifespace's Education programme aligns with:

• Every Child Matters outcomes (from the government, The Children Act 2004)

• The Dept. for Children, Schools & Families (DCSF) national strategy for 'Social & Emotional Aspects of Learning' (SEAL)
• Bloom's taxonomy of learning outcomes
• Awareness of relevant learning domains (cognitive, affective, psychomotor)
• The Respect Yourself campaign promoted by Warwickshire County Council
