17th September 2020 (via Zoom) Life Education Centre Nottinghamshire (LECN) – Guy Molyneux
Guy presented an update on the work of this Educational Charity which has now been active for over 25 years in Nottinghamshire with the aim of “Helping children make healthy choices”. LECN has been busy responding to children’s and family’s needs in the pandemic. This has involved adapting their interactive programmes and courses to online delivery for their work with children and parents.
For children, new educational programmes with a mental health focus for primary aged children were developed in the summer of 2020 and then delivered from September via Zoom direct into children’s classrooms. This project is called “SCARF Live Online”. In addition to the live programmes, schools can also access Life Education’s SCARF curriculum. SCARF stands for “Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship” and is made up of over 300 fully resourced lessons for children aged 3 through to 11. It covers all aspects of personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE). This is greatly helping schools deliver the new compulsory Health and Relationships Education Curriculum launched by the Department for Education in 2019 but delayed to 2021 due to the Pandemic. This new curriculum focuses on helping children look after their own physical and mental health, stay safe both online and off line, develop respectful relationships with friends and family and contribute positively to their community.
For parents and carers, LECN has devised new online courses for its Family Learning Provision including “Helping Children Manage Anxiety and Return to School” and these have been well attended. LECN greatly appreciate the donations made by the Vale of Belvoir Rotary Club to help it maintain it’s very important work in Nottinghamshire with children and their families. BB
