Relationship and Sex Education

And this research shows that more and y-- more young people feel that we are getting parts of this right.

Since twenty twenty-one, the percentage of sixteen to seventeen-year-olds who describe their experience of relationships and sex education as good or very good has increased from thirty-five percent to fifty-two percent.

Those who were surveyed ranked school first ahead of online or friends as a source of helpful information on lots of the topics we cover, including the all-important consent, social pressures on boys and men, and that sex and relationships should be enjoyable for everybody.

I think the statistic that is highlighted that made me most heartened was that ninety percent of those surveyed believed that school had effectively prepared them to develop healthy relationships.
