Module Indicative Content
The content can generally be divided into three areas: knowledge, skills and attitudes.

The knowledge elements of the module include government policy and guidance framework for Sex and relationships education (SRE). The module also enables participants to clarify their own role in the provision of SRE in their workplaces. We also look at the group dynamics and the theories of reflection and consider how these relate to group work with young people. The module is set within a reflective framework and students are required to practice the skills of reflection throughout the course work.

The skills element of the module includes work around defining effective outcomes in SRE. The module looks at how to plan, deliver and evaluate SRE programmes and how to use facilitation skills effectively to deliver the programme that has been designed. It also supports the participant in giving them the skills of making effective use of visitors to SRE programmes. It helps them to address sensitive and controversial issues with confidence. The skills of giving and receiving feedback to peers and to young people are looked at.

The attitudes elements of the module include looking at the participants' own values and attitudes and how these might impact on their practice with young people, parents, professionals and others in their workplace.
