Description

Sex education is rarely out of the news. Despite this, there exist surprisingly few studies of the principles, policies and practice of sex education.

This book provides such an examination, focusing on the values to which children are exposed in sex education.

Sex education inevitably involves the transmission of values, regardless of whether this is intended by teachers.

Throughout the book, academic and professional literature on both values and sex education is reviewed and discussed.

The authors look at the implicit liberal values, which underpin programmes of sex education, and at the challenges presented by the diversity of values in contemporary society.

The book also considers:* Why values are central to sex education* Children's voices and children's values* Religious and family values* Achievable aims for school sex education* How to help young people to reflect critically on the influences to which they are exposed and on their own developing sexual values * How to build values into practical approaches to sex education at both primary and secondary levels. This timely book will help all those involved in sex education to steer a path between controversial and often opposing views and will be essential reading for students on PGCE and BEd courses.

It will also be a valuable resource for teachers and professionals involved in teaching sex education such as teachers of personal and social education, form tutors, heads of year, school nurses, health workers and academics.
