Anti-bullying week

Leicestershire Virtual School demonstrate their support for #antibullyingweek and #chooserespect by sporting a natty variety of podal adornments.

Looked after children and previously looked after children may find themselves the subject of bullying by others. To show our support for the anti-bullying strategies promoted by the Anti-bullying team in the LCC Safeguarding Unit, members of the Leicestershire Virtual School wore odd socks to work!

Leicestershire Matters

We held workshops across Leicestershire schools to hear about young people's priorities within their local areas to support community health and wellbeing.

The HDRC Leicestershire Research to Reality training series concluded a successful year in September with 94 attendees across the four-session series.

We have filled the final spot on our Public Advisory Group (PAG), forming a diverse panel of eight members. This is an important step towards ensuring our work is informed by a broad range of public voices and lived experiences.

Young people in three Leicestershire schools will have the opportunity to have their say in the future of health research and meet a Great British Bake Off star as part of a new project.

Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) Leicestershire hosted its first event with members of the public in March 2025.

We're introducing a series of learning sessions to help improve research skills.
