Behind the Headlines is an award-winning programme that empowers young people in secondary schools to understand, critically analyse and engage with the media. The programme offers a range of resources and training options, including:

• Free in-person workshops for secondary schools covering a range of subjects such as Making the News, News Editing, Opinion Writing, and Future of News. Priority is given to state schools with above average free school meal rates as well as sixth form colleges and Special Educational Needs schools.

• Media literacy resources for students with SEND and their teachers.
• Resources for teachers: teaching ideas, display materials, and news media resources.
• News literacy webinars, conferences and bespoke training to support news and media education.
• Advice and guidance for young people interested in a career in the news and media industry.

Cost: Free. Workshops are heavily oversubscribed so expect to join a waiting list.
