What is Pol-Ed?

Pol-Ed is a programme that provides all schools in the Humber region with free lessons, assemblies and resources covering a range of topic areas which link to PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education and Citizenship in schools.

The resources are split into four topic areas:

  • Relationships: Including consent between friends and partners, sexual offences, grooming and bullying.
  • Keeping Safe: Including the role of emergency services, what can be perceived as anti social, criminal exploitation and addiction.
  • Understanding the Law: Including how to be a responsible citizen, hate crime, what to do if stop and searched by the Police and what constitutes public order.
  • Wellbeing: Including how children can look after themselves, what level of care they should expect, how to look after their own mental health and the changes their body may go through as they grow older.

Every Pol-Ed lesson includes:

  • An opportunity for children to recognise when behaviours they display or those around them are wrong/not appropriate and what they can do to change this/receive support.
  • Opportunities to increase students’ knowledge and awareness of current and emerging issues and how they can keep themselves safe.
  • Signposting all students to further help and support if needed.

For Police, Local Authorities and Community Groups

There is a range of resources for Humberside Police colleagues to deliver in schools or other educational settings.

The local authority platform will provide partners within local authorities the ability to preview Pol-Ed school resources. They will also be able to view reports to check which schools are using the materials. In addition, Pol-Ed "Youth Inputs" - further resources - will be available for use by community groups and care settings.

Background

To help support our partners in education, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Humberside Police have purchased access to the Pol-Ed programme. Pol-Ed supports schools in delivering expertly-planned lessons designed to develop a deep awareness of risks, citizenship and the law.

Created by West Yorkshire Police and subject matter experts, the resources are free to all schools in the Humber region. The programme aims to keep children safe and prepare them for their future role in society.
