Alco-Sex

"Alco-sex" is a comprehensive Relationships and Sexual Health Education (SRE) publication for Key Stage 4 students or above - supported by easy to use and innovative lesson plans.

It is packed with interactive activities and resources. "Alco-sex" will inform the students, stimulate discussion and challenge attitudes.

Although the DVD and supporting teaching material focus on sexual relationships there is no explicit sexual content. "Alco-sex" is a sequel to the Mentor UK 2008 award winning resource "Adolescents Anonymous" ISBN 978-1-904450-44-3. "Alco-sex" gives a snapshot into the lives of three young people.

One of the central characters Gemma is 19. She is doing well at college but finds she is pregnant.

Michael and Stacey are both Year 10 students who are desperate to get together and, who knows, have sex.

Desire, the influence of friends and alcohol mix together, resulting in unintended outcomes.

Both Michael and Stacey regret the night of the party.

Gemma, well, what is she going to do? Will Joe, her long term boyfriend be there for her?The DVD and supporting lesson plans are just one part of what should be a developmental curriculum relating to Sexual Health set within a fully comprehensive PSHCE education programme (PSHCE ed).

Key aspects of Relationships and Sexual Health Education (SRE) should be found in all years and related to the specific needs of the students.

Good PSHCE education, including Relationships and Sexual Health Education, has a valuable and central contribution to make in evidencing a schools contribution to Every Child Matters (ECM), Safeguarding and Student emotional health and well-being. "Alco-sex" is also included in the Secondary Integrated PSHCE education Toolkit supplied free to all Kirklees high schools in July 2008.

The Third Edition of the Toolkit published in March 2010 is also available for purchase (ISBN 978-1-904450-45-0).
