About role models

Scope Role Models is a programme which offers free personal, social and health education (PSHE) sessions on disability to secondary schools in London and Leeds. 89% of students felt less awkward about disability after attending.

Sessions are hosted by a Scope member of staff and a disabled role model volunteer. They consist of:

• a talk about how attitudes and stereotyping affect the lives of disabled people
• question and answer time with the students.

Benefits of Scope Role Models sessions

The sessions can:

• dispel myths and change perceptions
• promote confidence and positive attitudes
• build a more open, welcoming learning environment
• support disabled students and those with disabled friends or loved ones
• add value to your school’s PSHE and Citizenship curriculum
• enhance spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development
• create greater diversity, inclusion and mutual respect.

Booking

We recommend booking at least 6 weeks in advance.
