Better Sex & Relationship Education (SRE)<br />
<strong>County</strong> <strong>Durham</strong><br />
VISION<br />
VISION STATEMENT FOR SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS EDUCATION<br />
Sex and relationships education is part of a lifelong process of learning<br />
information and skills, forming beliefs, values and attitudes about sex,<br />
sexuality, sexual health and emotions. It should involve a range of<br />
agencies, parents and carers, along with young people themselves as<br />
peer educators, in supporting children and young people to cope with<br />
adolescence and prepare them for an adult life in which they can:<br />
• Be aware of and enjoy their sexuality<br />
• Behave responsibly within personal and sexual relationships and<br />
understand the consequences of their actions<br />
• Communicate effectively<br />
• Have sufficient information and skills to protect themselves and, where<br />
they have one, their partner from unintended/unwanted conceptions,<br />
and sexually transmitted infections including HIV<br />
• Access confidential advice and support<br />
• Avoid being exploited or exploiting others<br />
• Develop positive values and moral framework that will guide their<br />
decisions, judgements and behaviour.<br />
