YES - Annie Evans, medical director, Brook Young People's Services, Bristol
Young people need to get all the sexual health advice they can, and as soon as possible. In schools, we can engage with a large number of young people in a setting that is comfortable for them. You can't put up barriers to sexual health advice, because if you do, young people will wait until it becomes a serious problem.
