Values in sex education : from principles to practice / J. Mark Halstead and Michael J. Reiss.

This title, written for headteachers, teachers, governors and health workers, is divided into four parts: part one looks at the changing sexual attitudes and values between 1950 and 2000; part two analyses the principles underpinning sex education, including the problem of values in sex education, liberal values, health, well-being, pleasure and leisure, religious values, family values, and love; part three analyses how a school policy for sex education can be developed. It discusses the aims for sex education, frameworks for practice, the importance of listening to children and the non-school influences on children's values; and part four studies sex education in practice from the age of 14 to 19 years.
