Series of lessons

The teaching pack consists of six lessons. Each lesson takes a minimum of 50 minutes (one lesson period) to complete. How long the lesson takes depends on the time available, the class, class reactions and whether the subject is particularly relevant for the class. It is important to follow the order of the lessons as it is given and to use all the subject content. The teaching materials have been developed to be used together and to cover all the themes relating to relationships and sexuality.
