NCB Now: SRE toolkit will help schools

1 min read
A new initiative developed by the Sex Education Forum, based at NCB, will give school pupils the opportunity to influence what they are taught in sex and relationships education (SRE) lessons, so that it helps them make safe and healthy choices.

The SRE audit toolkit will help schools canvas young people's opinions on what they think they should learn about, at what age and who they think their SRE should be delivered by - with choices ranging from their teacher or peer educators to outside experts.

Anna Martinez, head of the Sex Education Forum, said: "Young people tell us that they want to learn the emotional implications of relationships, as well as the biological facts. They tell us there is a big gap between the SRE they want and what they actually receive. The toolkit will really help schools provide the SRE, which meets their pupils' needs."
