The new PSHE subject association was launched in February 2007, with a brief to raise the status and impact of PSHE. Specifically, it is committed to helping teachers and other PSHE professionals to better plan, manage, deliver, evaluate and monitor PSHE provision, raising its status and quality and increasing its impact on, and relevance to, learners in the 21st century. It aims to work closely with members, developing effective practice, representing views to government, other bodies and the media and influencing policy and perceptions of PSHE.
An interim council has been established to oversee the initial development of the association. Pete Bone of Fernwood Comprehensive is a member of this council with the responsibility of developing Secondary Teacher membership. If you are interested in becoming a member of the association, please contact Pete Bone at: pbone@fernwood-comp.nottingham.sch.uk
The association will require members to pay a membership fee from September 2007. Though the exact amount has yet to be determined, it is likely to be in line with other subject association membership fees. If you would like to find out more about the PSHE subject association, please visit the website:www.pshe-association.org.uk
