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 />
