Book on our online Spring Conference 2025!
We are delighted to open bookings for the 2025 PSHE Association Spring Conference and would like to invite as many PSHE teachers, leads and other professionals as possible to attend this flagship event on the PSHE calendar.
We can’t wait to share the full line up with you. Trust us — you don’t want to miss it! So put Thursday 6 March 2025 in your calendar now.
In the meantime, we’re thrilled to announce doctor, broadcaster and best-selling author Dr Chris van Tulleken as our first keynote speaker at this half-day online event. Dr Chris is one of the BBC’s leading science broadcasters for adults and children (CBBC's Operation Ouch), and is currently at the forefront of raising awareness of ultra-processed foods and their impact on physical and mental health — through his influential book ‘Ultra-Processed People’. We’ll hear how this issue affects children and young people but also explore solutions, including all that you can do, with help from new KS1-4 nutrition lesson materials that we’re launching on the day.
We’ll also focus on mental health by exploring our groundbreaking new curriculum and training materials for primary schools, launching in the new year. More on this soon, but we think you will find it invaluable when planning statutory mental health content within PSHE education.
With over 600 attendees in 2024 , this promises to be another lively and interactive event, bringing you together with like-minded professionals. Given the popularity of these events, we strongly recommend you book soon to secure your place.
As ever, practical workshops will be at the heart of our online conference, and you can choose two to attend on the day.
These workshops, and our keynotes, will focus on a range of priorities, from mental and physical health to relationships, safeguarding, and AI literacy, drawing on the latest evidence and expertise. We’ll announce further details as soon as they’re finalised.
And with a lot happening in the policy space concerning RSHE guidance and the Curriculum Review, our conference will also be a chance to get the latest news, while taking stock of, and building upon, all the great progress you’ve made to date.

95% of delegates from recent conferences said they left feeling "more confident" and "better prepared" to support their school community through their PSHE provision.
— “It was brilliantly put together with really valuable contributions from experts. I left inspired and empowered to turn that into action in my school.”
— “Excellent keynote speakers and workshops and so relevant to today's challenges and issues we face as educators of this vitally important subject.”
— “I’ve left feeling that I have the most up-to-date information to enable me to carry out my role. It’s good to connect with other professionals to share challenges faced when tackling trickier topics.”
— “[The workshop I attended] was very thought-provoking and grounded in research. Great to learn about new teaching resources designed to help teachers deliver on both the difficult and dynamic areas of online life [for children and young people].”
