Sex, relationships and contraception
Drunk in charge of a body II
Education and health professionals are increasingly concerned about high levels of alcohol consumption amongst young people. As it lowers inhibition and affects decision-making, alcohol is having a significant impact on the numbers of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Now we’ve taken our former Drunk in charge of a body resource, dating back to 1991, and transformed it into a comprehensive pack of lessons - mostly for teachers of young people in key stages 3 and 4, though other professionals in health services, outreach and youth work will also find it useful.
Drunk in charge of a body II – complete with photocopiable handouts, timed lesson plans, detailed background teaching notes and evaluation sheets – gives professionals the flexibility to select which subject matters are most important to the particular needs of young people in their group and those that will fit into time allotted in the curriculum.
