INTRODUCTION
Preparing young people for their journey onwards into adulthood necessarily includes the teaching of all aspects of sexual health. Although it is often one of the most difficult topics to talk about openly, by exploring these areas in the safe environment of school, young people are better equipped to make informed choices when presented with a new and potentially dangerous situation. In general, most students will have had some structured sex education delivered at school, usually Science KS2, and, thereafter, through further sex education in individual schools. They also learn about sex education from their parents, friends, and through the media such as T.V., Film, Magazines
