Teacher Resources

We provide a limited range of health-related resource material for teachers, which you can access by clicking the appropriate button on the left. As our site expands, we hope to provide more material for teachers. Please let us know if the resources are useful. 

All the material on this site is freely available to teachers, and you may copy and distribute material as you see fit. The only proviso is that we'd ask you to keep our logo and contact details on the material. It would also help us if you could email us and let us know if you use our resources. We'd also be very interested to hear how we could improve our teacher resources.

You will also find plenty of health-related information on this site that you could incorporate into your lessons. Feel free to contact us if you would like advice or help in this respect. The following information may be useful:

We will do our best to help any teacher that contacts us and who wants to incorporate health related themes into their lessons. For example, we can help you to carry out a school lifestyle survey, and advise you on how to incorporate the data you collect into your lessons. This might involve subjects as diverse as Maths, English, Art and Science, as well as SPHE. Click here to contact RedBranch.
