School Speakers
On this page you will find people from a range of religions and worldviews speakers, as well as university school speakers.
We are running monthly training for school speakers to attend before their details can appear on our website. To find out more about becoming one of our school speakers click here.
If you are looking for RE/RVE/R&W places of interest please click here.
If you are looking for a worldview and there are no speakers for this in this region, then take a look at other regions as there may well be speakers listed who will visit your classroom virtually.
Note to teachers: It is important that every school does their normal safeguarding check on people before making contact.
Some schools speakers will always be free of charge, others might need their travel costs repaid to them and finally some people and organisations do ask for a fee to be paid for such visits.
