The aim of Pol-Ed is to keep our children safe through a range of interventions.

We want to stop children becoming victims, or indeed perpetrators, of crime. Our range of interventions are designed to be delivered to children in differing settings.
The resources are in line with the current Policing Priorities, DfE Curriculum Frameworks, and the Ofsted Lines of Enquiry.

All of the Pol-Ed content focuses on the Policing Priorities and Ofsted lines of enquiry, to ensure we are best meeting the needs of our children and young people.
The team has many years of teaching experience and regularly review Ofsted's lines of enquiry.
The Pol-Ed team are available to provide support to community organisation's facilitators as needed, including CPD sessions throughout the year.
Our resources are carefully crafted by subject matter experts, and reviewed by subject specific Police Officers and other trusted partners.
Our resources come with online slides, worksheets, and other resources to support your setting.
At Pol-Ed, we want to ensure that all our resources are fit for purpose and meet the needs of Forces, schools, and children. During early 2023 a short research program of Pol-Ed was undertaken by Huddersfield University, some of the findings are below:
Throughout 2024 and into 2025, a new research project of Pol-Ed will be undertaken by Huddersfield University. Throughout the research, both teachers and pupils will be spoken to and asked a range of questions about the Pol-Ed resources. With the intention of learning about our scheme’s good points, areas for improvement but also the impact the lessons and assemblies have had on them.
- Increased confidence in delivering material (part. complex or sensitive issues)
- 'Quality assurance' of police involvement in materials
- Greater student retention of information.
- Positive feedback.
- Raised awareness of various community issues (e.g. alcohol, cyber-related crime).
- Helps breakdown misperceptions (e.g. learned in home).
- Greater understanding and appreciation of police role in community
- Increased knowledge and awareness of risk.
- Greater awareness of issues in communities - also demonstrated how to keep themselves safe.
- More knowledge of role of police in society, more positive perceptions, 'trusted people'.
