The purpose of this survey, led by Essex Public Health and Essex Youth Service on behalf of the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention group, is to gather the views of young people on a range of topics relating to relationships and sexual health, understanding what further information and support they would like and their preferred ways in which to access it.
This survey follows on from two previous Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) surveys. The first in 2021 which gathered the views of 16–25yr olds, and the second in 2022 which gathered the views of 11–25yr olds.
This year we further developed our survey questions for young people in Years 7-9, Years 10-11 and Post 16 Education or Provision (16-25yrs) to ensure age appropriateness.
This insight will be used to help shape and improve services so that young people feel supported to have healthy relationships.
