Marriage Care

Marriage Care's work in schools

On 20 March Rosie Winterton MP, Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, launched Marriage Care's Relationship Education and Emotional Literacy programme including the "Foundations for a Good Life" resource. The event took place at The Speaker's House, House of Commons, by kind permission of Mr Speaker.

Marriage Care's Education and Emotional Literacy programme will be implemented nationally by a team of highly-trained Marriage Care educational specialists, working within schools to introduce the new materials and train teachers on site. Marriage Care will also be looking to tailor courses to schools individual needs in this area of work.

Foundations for a Good Life" is an attractive and unique teaching resource for schools, colleges and communities, based upon extensive professional experience. It is designed to engage young people from about 12 upwards, and, where appropriate older people, and their teacher-leaders, in the fascinating and challenging dynamics of human development. This channels and extends their relational and emotional capabilities as a crucial life foundation.
