PEER EDUCATION

Peer education is a term widely used to describe a range of initiatives where young people from a similar age group, background, culture and/or social status educate and inform each other about a wide variety of issues. The rationale behind peer education is that peers can be a trusted and credible source of information. They share similar experiences and social norms and are therefore better placed to provide relevant, meaningful, explicit and honest information

The benefits for peer educators are widely recognised and can include positive changes in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence. Peer education has a strong emphasis on personal development and can be effective in allowing young people to fully participate and succeed in a wider range of educational and health promoting activities.

Peer educatees can benefit from credible, up-to-date, relevant and fun inputs delivered by fellow pupils with whom they can identify and build positive relationships with. We deliver Peer Education programmes that empower young people to devise and deliver health messages with them very much in control and making their own decisions on content and delivery method.

We can design and deliver Peer Education to groups of young people on a variety of health and Social issues projects in the past have included Sexual Health, Smoking and Mental Health.
