Real U Sexual Health and Relationships Programme
In 2019, a pilot of the Real U (Relationships explained and Life uncovered) will be rolled out. The Real U programme is a personal development and sex education programme aimed at equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to develop healthy relationships and delay early sexual activity.

- Demonstrate increased awareness of their behaviour in relationships
- Understand the importance of respect with regards to a person’s sexual orientation
