Welcome!

Hi there!  I am a third year student at the University of Greenwich studying for a degree in Education.  For my degree I have to complete a research project.

At the start of 2009 it was reported that the teenage pregnancy rates had risen again in the United Kingdom.   As a result, the government will be implementing a sex education policy for children from the age of five.  Sex education will become compulsory for pupils from the age of 15.  The government believe that this will help lower teenage pregnancy rates.

I am investigating whether it is a lack of knowledge of sex and reproduction that contributes to the raised rates or whether it is due to certain attitudes towards sex.

I am conducting a survey which will hopefully shed some light on this matter.

If you would like to take part please contact me on:

jodiesresearch@yahoo.co.uk

and I will send you a copy of my survey for you to complete.

The more people I can get involved the better so please tell as many people as you can about my blog (only where you think it's appropriate, of course!!)

Thanks for your help
