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 />
