Training Sessions for School Staff
We offer a range of training sessions - use the tabs below to see what each session type covers
In the light of the coronavirus situation we are living in at present, and wanting to be socially responsible as well as keep our team and colleagues safe, Jigsaw is cancelling all training events or engagements until the end of March. We will review the situation and update this news as the situation and government advice evolves and will contact any schools/teachers involved.
The Jigsaw HQ office remains open. We are based on a farm in the countryside of North Devon and are socially-isolating ourselves as advised but still working. We will be happy to talk to you if you have questions about Jigsaw PSHE, statutory RSHE etc.
Stay safe,
Jan Lever

Jigsaw is an evidence-based PSHE programme with mindfulness philosophy and practice woven throughout. This session defines emotional and mental health, considers the correlation between this and capacity to learn, and most importantly suggests how schools can work best for children. Philosophy and practice combine in these sessions.
These sessions are designed to equip delegates with…
- Up-to-date knowledge of the Jigsaw Families Programme
- Understanding of how to deliver the Programme in an age/stage appropriate way and what can be achieved for children and their families
- Familiarity with and confidence in, using the Jigsaw Families Programme hardcopy and online materials
- Confidence in dealing with tricky situations and sensitive topics
- Better rapport between schools and parents/carers, reinforcing support for children
The training is led by specially trained Jigsaw Families Programme Consultants who are all experienced teachers, working with children and families.
This training is booked with you after you have joined the Programme.
