Sexual Health & Wellbeing Workshops For schools
Our Approach
The Sexual Health Centre provides engaging, practical and age-appropriate sexual health and wellbeing workshops for secondary school students.
Our workshops complement the Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) and Relationships & Sexuality Education (RSE) curriculum, giving students the opportunity to explore important issues in a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental environment. We work with schools to provide expert-led sexual health education that is relevant to young people, aligned with curriculum learning outcomes and easy for schools to organise.
