NCB Now: Get connected to the Sex Education Forum

1 min read
To support the development of sex and relationships education (SRE) that is fit for local context, the Sex Education Forum's online practice portal hosts a bank of over 60 case studies from around the country. These range from descriptions of individual schools that have made big leaps with improving their SRE, to details of local partnerships with parents and faith communities that have increased understanding of the aims of SRE and can be searched by region. There is also a practice sharing e-notice board that offers users an opportunity to get involved and tell the Sex Education Forum about what they're doing in their local area.

Practice sharing is also facilitated through a network exchange facility, whereby over 700 network members post questions and reply with ideas and practical tips, thus sharing invaluable experience and know-how. Live web discussions are hosted on the site on themes such as "should SRE be taught in single-sex groups", to give practitioners the chance to ask questions directly to expert panellists.

The Sex Education Forum website serves as a virtual library on SRE with free downloadable factsheets and briefings on themes such as confidentiality, sexual exploitation and external visitors in SRE. A briefing on the current status of SRE can help practitioners keep up-to-date with the latest national developments and there are lists of teaching resources for SRE at primary and secondary level, for disabilities and special needs, and for parents and carers to use with their children. A new evidence portal makes SRE research accessible and includes listings of free-access international research. Look out for new evidence briefings on topical themes.
