About ASSPAgencies Supporting Schools Programme (ASSP) is a Southwark initiative that provides primary and secondary schools in Southwark with access to comprehensive information about the range of external agencies and resources available to support their teaching of personal, social, health and citizenship education (PSHCE). Why is there a need for ASSP?The purpose of bringing together external agencies under the umbrella of ASSP is to provide an integrated and high quality network and support for schools, and in turn help develop more effective partnership links for agencies working within schools. What does ASSP do?ASSP helps to facilitate the work of external agencies in schools, as well as organising networking and training events, providing an information website and resource library to help support primary and secondary schools in delivering high quality PSHCE. Who does ASSP work with?ASSP works with school communities and a wide range of external agencies that include theatre and music groups, crime reduction agencies, school beat police officers, drugs and alcohol advice groups, and organisations that promote citizenship. ASSP is guided by the ethos and aims of the Healthy Schools standards and together we work in close partnership to support schools in becoming healthy schools. How can agencies register with ASSP?Agencies who wish to register with ASSP can do so by downloading the registration form (click here) and once completed the form can be faxed or posted back to ASSP. The completed form will be circulated to the ASSP steering group and if the requirements are met your information will be entered on the web site. |
