5) Developing sex and relationship education policies in the youth services, residential homes etc. • Community Education Service is at present reviewing the current draft of the Sex and Relationship Education Policy and guidelines through an established Review Group, which will plan the progress and report on the review and recommendations. • Sex and relationship education is to become an integral part of the Community Education Service Youth Work Curriculum. The review of this curriculum will ensure that sex and relationship education will be prioritised in the statement guidelines by 2002. • There is a need for the establishment of a Sexual Health Worker post, to train and support the staff through the development of training programmes, 2002-2003, depending on funding available. • There is a need to broaden the range of learning opportunities around sex and relationship education, using the expertise of other professionals. • Work to continue with young people in the community using drama, community art workers, and community education workers and sexual health outreach workers. Future • It is important to have and develop training link with foster carers and residential social workers, regarding sex and relationship education. • Links can be developed between sexual health outreach workers and looked after networks. • It is crucial to have continued funding for End House, the Young Peoples Centre. • All of this work will help to ensure that young people are less likely to be at risk of social exclusion. 6) Using young people / parents and carers as educators • Peer education and peer mentoring is underway in schools and Youth Services at present. • Involve parents and carers in discussion around sex and relationship education offering local supported mini-courses if requested. • Develop an accredited course for young people, peer led, as suggested in TROCNII/III guidelines, this is underway. This work is currently being discussed by several organisations and individuals, and could be undertaken by joint working with Health Promotion and Community Education. 59

Future • Development of a forum of providers to establish agreed quality standards. • Clarify the role of the School Nursing Service, i.e. involvement / provision, 1-3 years. • Schools and school nurses to jointly audit the sex and relationship education delivered in schools, by setting up a working group with the LEA and School Nursing Service. 8) Mechanisms for involving and consulting parents and young people, using a range of professionals • A multi-agency approach required. • Continue to encourage parents/carers to be involved with the school by setting up mini-courses for parents as carers/resources and inviting their comments on the sex and relationship education curriculum content. • Link with training organised by Social Services for foster carers. • Audit of student involvement using the Healthy School Standards, in individual schools.
