  3. Face to face learning • We currently offer free 1 hour workshops to schools and other educational establishments on: • first aid • asylum seekers & refugees • HIV • preparing for emergencies • International humanitarian law (rules of war) • We also offer a range of certificated courses for students, a current price list has been provided

  10. External educator training • We work with partners, such as Scout Association, Crisis & Newcastle Youth Offending Team, to provide their staff with training to allow them to educate first aid themselves internally. • An agreement is made where they feedback the number of people they have trained to us, in return for the training.

  11. Peer education • Similar to external educators training, peer education involves training students in schools to deliver training to their peers in school. • This training is delivered in assemblies and citizenship/PSHE lessons. A school teacher is allocated to run the group internally, with support from Red Cross. • Peer educators compete with other schools across the North East, who also run peer education projects, so see who can educate the most within an academic year.

  12. Partnerships • We currently work in partnership with the following organisations to run projects and education with young people: • Tyne and Wear Fire & Rescue Service – North & South Tyneside Crucial Crews • Sunderland City of Sanctuary – Offering refugee workshops for their ‘School of Sanctuary’ scheme • Sunderland museums & RNLI – An art competition for schools to educate on local history and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of WWI.
