  9. What is sex and relationships education? • It is lifelong learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It is about the understanding of the importance of marriage for family life, stable and loving relationships, respect, love and care. It is also about the teaching of sex, sexuality, and sexual health. It is not about the promotion of sexual activity – this would be inappropriate teaching. (Department for Children, School and Families)

  10. The main aims for SRE in our local Schools • To enable young people to understand and respect their bodies, and be able to cope with the changes puberty brings (without fear)

  11. To help young people develop positive and healthy relationships appropriate to their age, development etc (respect for self and others)

  12. To support young people to have positive self and body-image, and to understand the influences and pressures around them (to be themselves)

  13. To make informed choices when they are considering starting a sexual relationship, so that they keep themselves safe and don’t find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection

  38. A final thought… A People Place If this is not a place where tears are understood, Where do I go to cry? If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing, Where do I go to fly? If this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Where do I go to seek? If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard, Where do I go to speak? If this is not a place where you’ll accept me as I am, Where can I go to be? If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow, Where can I be just me? William J Crocker
