"I have known Alice for many years, first working with her on a mental health project for Somerset County Council and for the last 5 years as a guest lecturer for Norland College, offering an engaging and thoughtful half day lecture on the nuance and complexities of supporting children with their relationships, sex and health education (RSHE). Alice covers information in a sensitive way ensuring she develops a safe space with our students before exploring challenging topics such as harmful sexual behaviours and abuse, alongside learning about how to talk to children in an age appropriate way about consent, body parts, bodily autonomy and reproduction. She has a relaxed and engaging presenting style and is deeply knowledgeable about her subject. Alice uses interactive tools such as Mentimeter and a wide range of children's books to ensure our students gain maximum benefits from her sessions. Alice’s contribution and expertise creates a value-added feature to Norland’s curriculum and the feedback from students is always very positive and enthusiastic. The fact that we keep asking Alice to return to educate our students on this important topic is testament to her excellence. We look forward to continuing to work with Alice around this essential area."

"I was recently asked how I, as a teacher, deal with various issues regarding sexual orientation, sexual prejudices etc and found myself giving this huge speech in how I have an inclusive classroom where anything that suggests inequality is challenged everyday. I discussed the importance of language in empowering children, giving them ownership of their mind and body and then I was asked 'who's been your inspiration?' And it was you, and how you always modelled inclusion and equality. Your influence has been huge in shaping my practice, so thank you so much. You are brilliant at what you do!"

"I recently had an amazing coaching session with Alice Hoyle on delivering relationship and sex education to young unaccompanied asylum seekers. I found her style of working incredibly motivating and inspiring and came away full of ideas and with lots of different tools to try out. I had gone in feeling overwhelmed at the amount of information that is available but feeling unsure as to the best resources and approaches. Alice really helped me to look at the learning needs of young people in a different way and gave me the confidence to consider different approaches and ways of delivering relationship and sex education which is informative, sensitive, fun and accessible."

"Alice is a delight. The reality is that although Alice operates as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) on one of our agency’s largest projects, offering her expertise as an educator and an expert in Relationships and Sex Education, she feels more like a member of our team. She’s always there when we need her, she seeks us out and adds value to every aspect of the project – her fierce attention to detail means that she is even involved in our quality control process. I admire and envy her responsiveness and have often wondered how efficient we could be if we had an Alice full-time. Alice’s contribution to the success of DO… SRE For Schools has been invaluable and we are incredibly proud to have partnered with her on such a quality SRE offering."

"It is always a pleasure working with Alice. She has worked tirelessly for the RSE Hub programme. With her expert input, we saw an increase in commissions and reach of the programme's work. She is an enthusiastic educator with considerable expertise in relationships and sex education. Alice is very well connected and well organised and her efficient leadership on the symposium on Healthy Sexual Development we held last year made it our best event yet!"
Richard Forshaw, Director The Exchange Foundation
"In all matters to do with sex and relationships education (SRE), Alice has been a fantastic help to us. We have worked together over a number of years developing the SRE provided within the school. Sessions she delivers to students are always outstanding and the students really enjoy participating in them. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend her work."
Dr Gavin Matthews – Head of Citizenship and Life Skills, Enfield Grammar School
"Alice has been incredibly supportive to us while setting up our SRE programme in school. She has been very generous in providing advice and resources. The resources we have used in lessons have really engaged students and the feedback, from both teachers delivering lessons and students participating, has been extremely positive. I would like to thank Alice for everything she has done and would not hesitate to recommend her. I look forward to working with her in the future."
