Todays Health Topic: Why Our Kids Need A Better
Three cheers for the news that nearly one in three secondary schools are now running sexual health clinics for pupils - some as young as 11 - offering condoms, pregnancy tests and the morning-after pill.
This figure is revealed in a new report from the Sex Education Forum. And I think it makes encouraging reading.
I’m wholly in favour of teaching children to be responsible enough to protect themselves from the potentially devastating consequences of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The present standard of sex education is failing our children. And these sexual health clinics are fighting the fires that this inaquadecy is causing.
