Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 56
Improve sex education teaching and materials, including condom use, to address rising STIs.
Recommendation
The Government should work with the NHS and Oak National Academy to improve the teaching of sex education, and the materials available to support it, to ensure it provides an effective response to the troubling increases in the prevalence of STIs among young people. The benefits of condom use should be a key part of the curriculum. As we have previously recommended, RSE should be taught up to the age of 18.
