11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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 100 th anniversary of WWI.
