This book takes a detailed look at the standard of sex education provided in UK secondary schools. It describes an investigation of current programmes of sex education in selected schools, using a combined postal and telephone survey modelled on a successful earlier exercise in alcohol education. This report gives the answer to several questions including: What are the topics covered? To what depth are topics discussed? At what age are the different topics covered? How satisfied are schools with the sex education they provide and what are the factors influencing their provision?
