Chameleon PDE Updates

<p>Updated slides, video content and direct access to the slide deck from your dashboard. New style teacher notes accompany this pack.</p>

<p>We have just run the 1st of 4 live sessions on the changes required in September 2026. You can sign up to attend one of the other sessions or view the recording which has been added to the training section on your dashboard. There is a 40 minute training video, slide deck and copy of the statutory guidance available to download. Share with your team or use to support your own training session. The video covers the key changes and what Chameleon PDE are doing to ensure you are fully prepared for September 2026.</p>

<p>With new video content, updated statistics and a fresh new look, this lesson pack should help make facilitation of this subject area more straight forward and probably save some time.</p>

<p>An updated version of the above pack has been added to your dashboard. There's an option to play the slide deck directly from your dashboard, new video material to include how AI supports science and short videos of case studies giving examples of STEM careers supporting life-saving science. Videos are embedded and also available in the video library.</p>

<p>We are continuing to update lesson packs to reflect changes in data or legislation, add video material and ensure activities are varied and relatable. We are continuing to focus on health, safety and relationships, which include the statutory content (English schools) are expected to deliver as a minimum requirement as part of their wider personal development offer. Look out for the flame icons on your dashboard to see what's new. Please delete and replace any previously downloaded content that will now be out of date.</p>

<p>Our latest newsletter should have landed in your email inbox. You can also access it <a href="https://sh1.sendinblue.com/v8pr7wjglpfe.html?t=1764338168178">here</a> </p>

<p>We have added a new lesson pack for age 14+ students that covers AI, deepfakes and pornogrpahy. The proliferation of AI-generated deepfake porn is included along with new and emerging legislation e.g. strangulation depicted in pornography and other new legislation due by the end of the year. Recognising and reporting sexual assault is also covered. We touch upon the dark web and this pack replaces the Dark web and pornography pack. We have cross-referenced the content with the updated RSHE statutory criteria and this can be seen on page 1 of the teacher notes. Four videos support this lesson pack and there's an option to view the slide deck directly from your dashboard.</p>

<p>Two lesson packs have been updated 'Prioritising mental health' and 'Understanding politics and political influence'. There is also a new pack on 'Grooming, exploitation and deep fake'. This pack has been written specifically for post-16 students, many of whom have reported that they have not covered this material previously. Look out for the flame icon to indicate the pack is new. </p>

<p>We've refreshed the 13-14 years unintended pregnancy lesson pack. Video content has been added to support facilitation and some statistics have been updated as new findings have emerged. This pack could also be used with older students.</p>

<p>You can now choose to invite your team to either, 1. Access the complete resource library OR 2. Give video library only access. Simply, click on your name in the top right corner of your dashboard, select settings, invite colleagues and in then decide if you want to grant 'subordinate' access which includes all resources or 'video only'. The choice is yours!</p>

<p>You may have already noticed that we have a new video library in place. The aim is to provide you with video content that not only supports specific lesson packs but can also be used in tutor sessions assemblies or to support other material you may be using. The video library is hosted on our website so you will need your Chameleon PDE dashboard open to access it. Remember, you can invite as many colleagues as you wish to access the Chameleon PDE resource library. Get in touch if you have any questions, we're always happy to help.</p>

<p>There's a new document in your Advisory &amp; Guidance documents that provides an overview of how Chameleon PDE lessons promote diversity and inclusion across our resource library. We've focused on disability, ethnicity &amp; race, religion &amp; belief, women's rights &amp; LGBTQ+. We've noted where images, scenarios case studies or some other feature or the lesson includes one or more of these groups. There are other lessons where age is addressed and we are likely to update this mapping document over time. Many thanks to the school, St Helena school, Colchester who suggested this addition. </p>

<p>One of the top areas that students tell us they want more of in PSHE is budgeting skills. This updated lesson pack includes video and voiced-over content and explores budgeting, debt, saving and needs vs wants. </p>

<p>We've completely updated the LGBT+ history pack with video content to ensure facilitation is as easy as possible. Activities lend themselves well to assemblies and workshop-style sessions as well as classroom sessions.</p>

<p>Students often tell us that they want more PSHE related to first aid. This pack considers the risks associated with alcohol and drugs and also dealing with emergency services. This is a practical session that covers lots of PSHE/RSHE criterial and skills. Many opportunities for assessment.</p>

<p>This pack has been re-written to include video content, voiced-over case study and an opportunity for students to test their skills on 'how to disagree agreeably'</p>

<p>We have updated this library pack to include audio and video content.</p>

<p>Students regularly tell us that they want to learn more about first aid. This updated version includes video content and would be very useful to consolidate learning students. may have received in a practical session. </p>

<p>As we update material background on slides is being changed from white to very pale pastel shades to improve accessibility. There have been lots of updates recently to add video and voice recordings to lesson packs, so be sure to check that you are using the latest versions.</p>

<p>As exams approach we have given the above library pack a face lift. New video content and some adaptations to activities. Aimed at 14-16 years, this pack could also be used with 16+ students. The focus in on taking a balanced approach to studying and building health habits when feeling exam pressure.</p>
