    About This Programme:

    Based: Regional

    Interactive, lawyer-led workshops on the meaning of consent (legal and non-legal), various sexual offences, bystander intervention, the age of consent, responding to disclosures and ways to obtain help.

    The Schools Consent Project aims to normalise consent conversations in order to challenge toxic attitudes, reduce sexual offending rates and create a more responsible and respectful society from the grassroots up. Employing a factual and objective approach, it addresses subjects that can otherwise feel challenging, sensitive or simply taboo, whilst giving young people agency, enabling them to fully understand the law around sex and consent in order to make informed and sensible decisions for themselves.

Whilst the delivery is hard-hitting, it has been experienced by children as young as seven years old and the police has encouraged for it not to be diluted due to its importance.

With a developed style from working with over 200,000 young people, the deliverers are relatable, approachable and understand the world of a young person using real stories, videos and descriptions.

    This workshop is called ‘Navigating the Online World’ and is delivered by Cathy Wood.

    Social media can be an engaging, powerful, tool for athletes who can use it to; promote themselves, their sport and passions and to connect with fans and sponsors. But, it has downsides, including old accounts, or comments, which have been forgotten about and poor security habits which put players at risk of being hacked, or worse, blackmailed.

    This workshop looks at the benefits and pitfalls of social media along with practical advice on how to review old posts, how to implement free online tools and where to go for help. There are also tips on how to build a positive online presence, for players who want to.

    Please note: This deliverer travels to all sessions outside Central London by train.  Please check for any impending strikes/overtime bans or underground action(s) before requesting a delivery date.

    About This Programme:

    Based: Regional

    The Switch the Play Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting all sportspeople to successfully transition into life outside of sport. The vision is a world where every sportsperson fulfils their potential at every stage of their lives and the charity’s mission is to empower sportspeople to be their best through and beyond sport.

    This masterclass introduces the concept of networking, also known as, building relationships. Starting with support networks, the players will explore how they can ensure they have the right people around them to make them the best version of themselves. We will then help the players understand how to establish and grow a personal and professional network, equipping them with the skills to maximise their own networks.

     

    The founder of media giant IMG said, “When all things are equal, people do business with people they like”. That may be obvious, but he then went on to say, “When things are unequal, people still do business with people they like”. This sums up why networking is so important, particularly in planning ahead for a future career or a side hustle.
