© InfoThe British Red Cross has a small team of experienced trainers who can provide tailored sessions in schools, at conferences and as part of teacher training courses.
We're developing a network of teacher trainers around the country who can help you to engage students with humanitarian topics.

How far in advance do I need to request a trainer?
The more time you can give us, the more likely we'll be able to organise support for you. Our network of trainers is growing so if we don't have a trainer available in your area now, we may have one there soon.
Who are your teacher trainers?
Our trainers are volunteers or staff in our youth and schools teams. We train them to be able to work with teachers in different stages of their career. Most of our education resources are for upper primary and secondary students.
How do I request a teacher trainer?

If your query is urgent, please call the Red Cross office near you.
What other materials and resources do you have?
The education section on our website is full of materials and resources you can use. The activities are self-contained and designed for use by anyone. You don't need to be a Red Cross expert to raise humanitarian issues in school.
All of our education resources are produced to focus students' attention on humanitarian and citizenship issues that have relevance right across the curriculum.
