Recommendation 3

Paragraph: 25
Ensure RSHE teachers receive training and deliver comprehensive reproductive health education early
Recommendation
The Government should ensure teachers tasked with delivering the menstrual and gynaecological health element of RSHE receive the training necessary to deliver it effectively. Information on women’s reproductive health conditions should be taught early on in secondary education, preferably around the time most girls first experience menstruation. That information should include guidance on what is and is not considered to be healthy reproductive health and cover intersectional differences, preparing pupils to advocate for their needs and seek help when necessary.
