SHARE
A programme designed for teaching sex and relationships education (SRE) to young people in S2-S4.
The model for this training is for a small group of multi-agency trainers to undertake a six-day training programme. This will equip them to deliver a three-day training course to those who will be delivering SRE to young people.
This is a highly evaluated and recommended course for this particular age group but does require a significant investment in training of staff.
SHARE training for trainers sessions are run by Health Scotland and more information can be found on the SHARE page of the Health Scotland website.
Respect
Two Respect packs are available from Zero Tolerance, one for secondary and one for primary (Primaries 6 and 7) with associated training. For more information contact Zero Tolerance.
