Building on the success of the government-funded project, REsilience is now being offered to  all teachers of RE who want to develop their confidence and competence in dealing with contentious issues in the classroom.

Its aims are to:

• increase confidence in addressing contentious issues, particularly those sometimes linked with violent extremism
• provide continuous professional development opportunities for all teachers of RE
• encourage reflective practice
