Introduction to Getting the lowdown

‘Getting the Lowdown’ is a teaching resource designed to equip teachers and facilitators with the tools they need to effectively educate and engage young people around issues of emotional well-being.

Created as a way to help meet emotional literacy targets and as a compliment to a variety of staff training programmes, this resource contains teaching materials for eleven separate lessons:

  • Key Stage 1 & 2: Friendships and Relationships, Bullying, Anger Management, Loss & Bereavement, Being Active
  • Key Stage 3 & 4: Stress & Anxiety, Loss & Bereavement, Eating Disorders, Self Harm, Depression, Bullying

‘Getting the Lowdown’ is an evidence based resource of the highest quality featuring lesson plans written by experienced teachers, reading materials produced by national health consultants and organisations (such as Beat Bullying), short films with ITV Kids presenters and it’s all ready to use  straight out of the box! 

Having received a very positive external evaluation by independent health consultants, ‘Getting the Lowdown’ is being used by over 30 local authorities across the country to help with the delivery of the National Curriculum, SEAL, Healthy Schools and many more emotional well-being interventions in their schools.
