Better Sex & Relationship Education<br />

The Current Position – Where We Are Now<br />

1) Implementation of DFEE guidelines on Sex & Relationship ensuring<br />

all secondary schools are delivering Sex & Relationship Education<br />

• Emphasis is placed on consistency of information and also liaison with<br />

Health Promotion Services.<br />

• Healthy Schools Standards adhered to.<br />

• Continue to offer training support for staff, in and out of school as part of<br />

the Healthy School Standards, both for knowledge updating and<br />

development of delivery skills.<br />

• Continue to work with School Nursing Teams to identify priorities,<br />

including support work in schools.<br />

• On-going monitoring of delivery of sex and relationship education<br />

through Healthy Schools Standards Audit Mechanism.<br />

• Continue to improve liaison in PSHE networks.<br />

• Continue to plan sex and relationship education programmes relating to<br />

the needs of the young people, by consulting with them.<br />

• Continue to offer training for primary school teachers, on the delivery of<br />

SRE.<br />

• Continue to support and promote “the Sex Education Road Show” and<br />

other ad hoc events in schools, linked to Healthy Schools Standards, i.e.<br />

Contraception Awareness week/ North East Area AIDS Day.<br />

• Continue close liaison with the School Nursing Service, several of whom<br />

have undergone Family Planning Training and are therefore not only<br />

involved in the delivery or advising on contraception care in schools, but<br />

also in the local Family Planning Clinics and Young Peoples Centres.<br />

Lead<br />

The lead on the these tasks would be shared by a multi-disciplinary group<br />

consisting of Health Promotion Services, LEA, School Nursing Service,<br />

Healthy Schools Standards Steering Group and individual schools.<br />
