Keys To Sexual Health and Relationships
|
|
The aim of the four ‘Keys to…’ resources is to provide key sessions on important health issues that may be used in mainstream Primary and Secondary Schools and that are inclusive of children and young people with a visual impairment. All pupil/student sheets are in large font, with a FREE CD Rom included that will enable the pupils/students to increase/decrease the font as required.
Each resource contains ten key sessions covering aspects of knowledge and understanding, attitudes and skills development with activities utilising a variety of learning styles.
The approach enables schools to deliver the main aspects of drugs education as recommended by all the major guidance documents for schools, including Drugs: Guidance for Schools; Personal and social framework for 7-19 year olds in Wales; and Curriculum for Excellence.
NEW AVAILABLE SPRING ‘Keys to sexual health and relationships’ for young people aged 11-14 years old.
The United Kingdom has among the highest teenage birth and abortion rates in Europe. Young people consistently ask for an increased focus on the emotional aspects of relationships. This resource provides opportunities to explore the development and maintenance of healthy relationships during this critical period of personal development through ten easy to follow key sessions.
The resource includes the following sessions:
- What changes are we going through?
- What makes a positive relationship?
- Why do young people choose to have/not to have sex?
- How can young people keep themselves safe?
- Where can you get information and support on sexual health matters?

Life Matters - New!
A board game for young people aged 13-19 years old about life's opportunities, risks and challenges... sexual health and behaviour, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs |
|
Life Matters has proven to be extremely effective in engaging young people in discussions about a variety of issues around sexual health and sexual behaviour, alcohol, smoking and other drugs.
The pack consists of:
- 1 dice
- 6 playing tokens
- 6 female bodies with 7 body parts
- 6 male bodies with 7 body parts
- 55 questions about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs
- 55 questions about sexual health and sexual behaviour
- 12 ‘life’ cards
- 1 Life Matters board
It can be played by up to twelve people and takes about one hour to complete. The winner is the first player to finish with all seven body parts intact! Response to the game has been very positive and indicates that it is an excellent way for young people to learn about important issues relating to their health and wellbeing, including sexual health and behaviour, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
The game throws up the unexpected and shows how it takes knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of issues and sound decision making to become a winner. The issues raised will inevitably continue the discussions and inevitably lead to requests to replay the game, since only a fraction of the questions will be raised during any one game.

This resource has been used in our Adult Training Centre with the 16 to 19 year old residents during the weekly 'Looking after myself' sessions. The young women have found the several sessions that have dealt with issues out of the resource incredibly beneficial. In particular, the family planning, relationships and getting home safely sections have definitely made a difference to the young women as Sunraye and they are now much more aware of their actions in regarding relationships and spending social time in the community.
Save the Family
Sex education and the issues of drug and alcohol abuse are already comprehensively covered in our schools but these packs will help reinforce the messages we are trying to get across. The materials are excellent, particularly as they are designed for use with young people of all abilities. This Tacade resource aims to enable young people to make use of their own ideas, experiences and concerns as well as increasing their awareness and understanding of sexual health issues, and the risks associated with alcohol use and drug taking.
We want young people to be able to explore attitudes, values and feelings about sexuality and gender issues, prejudice and discrimination. It will also help them build on their personal and social skills.

different theoretical perspectives that can form the basis of
interventions; and the results of the extensive consultation with
practitioners and young people. The toolkit is suitable for use in
sexual health clinics with sexually active young people and in FE and
Sixth Form colleges with young people over the age of 16.
Sexual Health Clinics
It is designed to enable practitioners to tailor their conversations
with young people to encourage more consistent safer sexual practices
and discuss the issue of sexual pleasure.
Further Education and Sixth Form Colleges
The materials can help sexual health practitioners discuss sensitive
issues such as safer sex, sexual pleasure and sexual harassment with
young people in group settings.
The Safer Sex Toolkit will be published in Spring 2009 and launched
through a series of training dissemination events throughout England

We have used this manual in the weekend clubs for older children. The varied nature of the subjects has encouraged the children to join the clubs, and the most popular project has been the sections on citizenship and careers. The children who take part in these sessions have spent a long time suffering from the effects of social exclusion and therefore, they are subject to bullying and other dangers that the communities pose to them. The citizenship project has offered very useful advice on keeping safe in the community and how to deal positively with bullying. The careers project has brought about clear thinking from the children about their futures and until now, the children had not received any information or had any help from their families about careers and their hopes for the future.
