Alice Hoyle (Sense & Connect)

Sensory Inclusion (Sense) & Relationships, Sex and Health Education (Connect) for schools, families and workplaces.
Alice Hoyle is a Wellbeing Education Consultant with a rich background as a PSHE teacher, head of department, youth worker, and local authority adviser for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). She brings lived expertise as a late-diagnosed neurodivergent parent-carer in a multiply-neurodivergent family, shaping her inclusive, sensory-aware approach.

Her work centres on sensory wellbeing, inclusive RSE, and is often rooted in a gender equality lens. Alice is the author of three books: Pretend Friends (a children’s story about schizophrenia), Great Relationships and Sex Education (a resource of 200+ RSE activities for educators), and Becoming a Sensory-Aware School (a whole-school sensory wellbeing toolkit, published by Speechmark in 2024).

Recent projects include amplifying pupil voice in RSHE across secondary schools, writing a national MOOC on healthy online relationships, and supporting both educators and parents of SEND children with sensory or sex education needs.

Alice is passionate about building safer, more equitable systems — especially for neurodivergent girls and those marginalised by gender, sexuality or disability.

She was shortlisted for Sexual Health Professional of the Year (2014), awarded Life Membership of the PSHE Association (2014), and served as an Advisory Council member and founding trustee of the Sex Education Forum until 2023.

Available for consultancy, training, and commissioned work in 2026.
