Relationships and sexual health information:
In Cornwall we have a new comprehensive Healthy Relationship Programme on offer to schools that is delivered by 3 amazing services; Safer Futures, Brook and Women’s Aid. These services are working together to ensure there is sufficient education and support across primary and secondary schools. These are targeted, age-appropriate programmes in primary and secondary schools and further education establishments and are free of charge.
