Why does sex and relationship education (SRE) continue to have
mixed success? Why is teaching SRE difficult? And why do some
adolescents practice safe sex according to the SRE messages while
others still engage in risky sexual behaviour? To answer these
questions, this book explores a cutting edge Youth Work-based SRE
programme that examines how young people aged 15-21 engage with
SRE, describing how a range of socioeconomic, cultural and sexual
norms, values and attitudes differently shape their decision-making
on sex, intimacy and future pathways. The empirical data presents
young people's rich accounts from diverse socioeconomic contexts
and relationships, as well as sex educators' views on the efficacy
of SRE. Important key themes are family and friendship networks,
education and employment expectations, and personal and romantic
relationships. Uniquely theorising classed circumstances and
expectations with gendered heterosexual practices, Understanding
Sex and Relationship Education, Youth and Class reveals that
understanding the contextual specifics of teens lives is crucial
for the relevancy of SRE. Drawing on SRE and Youth Service
practice, alongside policy debates in the UK and international
context, means that this book will be useful for readers worldwide,
and those interested in sociology, social policy, sexual and public
health studies, as well as policymakers and youth practitioners.
