Next HeadsUp forum - Sex Education :: Do you get enough?
The next HeadsUp forum is on Sex Education and will take place from 1-19 March. HeadsUp is for 11-18 year olds that want to discuss the political issues that matter to them, with the people that make the decisions that affect them. The forum ties in very nicely with a government consultation on Sex Education so young people will have a real say in what they should be taught about sex at school.
There is lots of information about sexual issues and sex education on the forum so that the young people involved can have a well informed debate. Visit the student BackUp infomation here.
There are also comprehensive Teachers' Notes to introduce your class to the topics and some activities to get you started online and offline. Visit the Teachers' notes here.
Decision-makers involved so far include:
- Annette Brooke MP
- Mike Hancock MP
- Jenny Anderson AM
- Janet Ryder AM
- Bethan Jenkins AM
- Anna Martinez - Sex Education Forum
Anyone can view the debate as it happens and a report will be produced at the end to send to the decision-makers so they know what young people think about the sex education they receive at school.
