  1. SHARE Sexual Health and Relationships and/or Safe, Happy and Responsible

  2. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF SEX EDUCATION To develop a climate of sharing and trust through reviewing what the group learnt about sex from their parents, primary school, secondary school and others.

  3. Radio One Bare All Survey A third of 16-24 year olds drunk alcohol before their first experience of sex A quarter of 16-24 year olds didn’t use contraception when they first had sex 41% of young people don’t always use condoms with their partner The majority of boys (59%) look to the internet to get information about sex 70% of Scottish respondents have had a one night stand

  4. NSPCC A quarter of teenage girls have experienced violence from a boyfriend A third of girls have been pressured into a sex act that they did not want

  5. 40% of girls regret their first intercourse Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (2010)

  6. “If young people are supported to develop themselves as people they are less likely to engage in risky behaviours, including early sexual activity and non-use of contraception”

  7. ‘makes you think about how you like yourself as a person’ ‘it gave me more confidence’ ‘gave us a chance to behave like adults’ ‘it made me think about where my relationships had gone wrong’

  8. What is SHARE ? • A specially designed teacher-led sex education programme aimed at young people aged 13 – 15 years

  9. The Research • Funded by the Medical Research Council and Health Education Board for Scotland • Carried out by Social and Public Health Sciences Unit at Glasgow University • First large-scale randomised trial of sex education in the UK • Exploration of what makes for effective and replicable sex and relationships education • 7000+ pupils aged 13 – 15 • 24 non-denominational state schools in Tayside and Lothian regions

  10. Results from the SHARE Research • Pupils evaluated the SHARE lessons very highly-the boys slightly higher than the girls • Pupils increased their sexual health knowledge-boys started from a lower base than girls and increased their knowledge more than girls • For those who had sexual intercourse for the first time after SHARE started, there were lower levels of regret about first sexual intercourse-this was true for both boys and girls • Teacher confidence increased significantly as a result of training

  11. Follow-up Research • The value of including a range of professionals from different agencies and backgrounds at training events • The ongoing post-training practical support necessary to ensure implementation of the SHARE programme at local level • Further information required on the links between sexual risk taking and substance misuse • The need to address sexual health and relationships issues for young people with learning disabilities and lesbian, gay and bisexual young people • 2014 – SHARE Re-Fresh

  12. Sexual Health and Relationships Education

  13. Values of the SHARE Programme • Our sexuality is a natural and healthy part of who we are. • Each of us feels differently about our sexuality, and we may express it in different ways. • Everyone has the right to their sexuality, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion or belief, race or ethnicity. • We should treat each other as we should like to be treated. • We should never have to do anything sexual that we don’t want to do. • If we do choose to have sex, we should protect ourselves and sexual partners from unintended pregnancy and from sexually transmitted infections

  14. AIM To increase your knowledge, skills and confidence in educating secondary school pupils about sex and relationships

  15. Learning Objectives • Explore and be aware of personal values and attitudes. • Confidence in using different methodologies • Discuss challenging questions and issues and gain confidence in dealing with them • Be familiar with the SHARE programme and other resources and know where to go for help and support

  16. Why improve sexual health? • Young people are having sex younger and are regretting it • Teenage pregnancy in Britain is the highest in Europe • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV are increasing

  29. Health and Wellbeing Framework

  30. Planning for choices and changes Mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing Food and health Health and Wellbeing Physical education, physical activity and sport Relationships, sexual health and parenthood Substance misuse

  31. INTERACTIVE MODEL OF LEARNING We remember: • 5% of what we HEAR • 10% of what we READ • 20% of what we HEAR and see • 30% of what we SEE • 50% of what we SAY • 75% of what we DO • 90% of what we HEAR, SAY & DO

  32. What do young people and parents want? Young people get most of their sex and relationships from the media; only a few get it from their parents. Young people say their school sex education was too little, too late and too biological

  33. What do young people and parents want? Most young people see schools as an appropriate source of sex education, but they want more of it, sooner and more about relationships, feelings and ‘what you actually do’. The majority of parents recognise that they have a key role to play and want to do this in partnership with schools. Lack of skills and resources prevent them from doing this effectively.
