All PRIME teaching, online and face-to-face are based on the PRIME principles of whole person care and interactive education. They will always include small group discussions and often involve role play participation by attendees. In order to foster relationships and to role model our core values these sessions are recommended to be undertaken live using video conferencing, though they may be recorded to allow those who are unable to attend or wish to watch again the opportunity of accessing them later.
Our volunteer tutors develop teaching resources and modules tailored to specific need.
