Drugs, Sex and Relationships Education Policy Sex and Relationships Education Policy Rationale It is the policy of the School Governors that all students will follow a programme of Sex and Relationships Education. The governors feel that the school must help young people to come to terms with the problems of growing up, by giving them the facts unambiguously, in a relaxed, secure environment in which they can confidently ask questions and be assured of answers. Sex and Relationships Education should be part of the students’ personal, social and health education but calls for sensitive teaching, as it is a complex issue with strong moral, legal, religious and cultural considerations. This involves acknowledging that sex education should not only give information and increase understanding, but that it should also promote responsible behaviour, combat abuse and exploitation, cultivate the ability to make informed decisions and develop education skills for future parents and child carers. A Sex and Relationships Education policy should be concerned with helping young people to examine their own and others’ attitudes and to make informed decisions about their lives. It is a developmental process which will have begun prior to secondary school. Research has shown that knowledge about sex does not increase unprotected sexual activity in young people, but instead leads to more responsible and informed behaviour. Aims To have a programme of sex education which: • Supports young people through their physical, emotional and moral development. • Discusses matters wholly within the context of loving and caring relationships, while being sensitive to the fact that some children in our care are from a variety of home backgrounds and may have limited understanding and experience of such relationships. • Educates for responsible parenthood an adolescence in such a way that encourages all students to have due regard to the value of a stable family and secure home environment. • Meets the needs of all individuals, including awareness of differing moral, cultural and religious values. • Endeavours to involve parents and other interested parties in sex education issues, whilst complementing and supporting the roles of parents who are key figures in helping children with physical and emotional aspects of growing up. • Promotes health and hygiene. • Creates an environment in school within which trust and confidence are assured. Please contact the Headteacher if you have any concerns or would like to withdraw your child from these lessons. Drugs Education and Drugs Related Incidents Policy It is the policy of the School Governors that all students will follow a clearly structured and well resourced programme of drugs education as is appropriate to their age and development. The School has a policy concerning action to be taken in cases of drug related incidents in school and cases of suspected drug use by students. • The school does not condone either the use of drugs or alcohol by members of the school nor the supply of these substances. • The school is committed to the health and safety of its members and in all cases will take action to safeguard their well being. The school will consider each substance incident individually and recognises that a variety of responses will be necessary to deal with incidents. The school will consider carefully the implications of any action it may take as it seeks to balance the interests of the student involved, the other school members and the local community. Both disciplinary and pastoral action may be taken. Responses The Headteacher is responsible for the Drugs Policy and Responses, for liaison with the Governing Body, Parents, LEA and appropriate outside agencies. The Headteacher will report a serious incident to the Chair of Governors who will decide who else needs to know. • In all cases of Drug related incidents, including alcohol and tobacco, parents will be contacted at the earliest opportunity. • Illegal drugs related incidents will be reported to the Police who will remove any substances from the school for identification in accordance with the law. • The Local Authority will be informed in the event of criminal proceedings or exclusion. • A referral may be made to the Education Welfare Officer, Educational Psychologist or the Freshfields Service. • While our investigation is proceeding the student(s) will be excluded from the school. Re-admittance to the school, and conditions within which this may be permitted, will be a matter for the Governor and Headteacher to decide. • Following investigation and disciplinary procedures, permanent exclusion should be expected for offences involving illegal substances.. Single Equality Scheme The Single Equality Scheme brings together the School’s approach for promoting equality in our policies and procedures and, most importantly in our day to day practices and interactions with the whole School community. Our scheme includes pupils, staff, governors, parents, carers and all those within our extended school community. We acknowledge that it is very important for us all to work together in achieving our aim of being fully inclusive and accessible and ultimately in providing a quality learning experience for our children. A copy of the Scheme is available on request and there is also a link to the scheme via our school website.
