Sex Education Workshops for Schools, Colleges, Universities and Staff Training
2020 Dreams Sex Education Workshops provide age-appropriate, evidence-informed education about relationships, consent, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, sexual decision making, pornography, sexting, online sexual harms, peer pressure, exploitation, sexual wellbeing and access to support. The aim is to give young people accurate information, practical judgement and the confidence to make safer, healthier and more respectful decisions.
Our Sex Education Workshops for Schools are built around the realities young people face now. Sexual-health information no longer comes only from teachers, parents or health professionals. Pupils may also encounter advice, myths, pornography, influencer content, AI-generated material, relationship pressure and sexualised messages through social media, group chats, search, gaming communities and peers. Effective sex education therefore needs to combine reliable health information with consent, relationships, critical thinking, digital safety and safeguarding.
2020 Dreams delivers tailored programmes for primary and secondary schools, sixth forms, colleges, universities, SEND and SEMH settings, PRUs and alternative provision, charities, youth organisations, secure and residential settings, staff teams, professional groups, workplaces and corporate events. Every programme is adapted to the age group, maturity, safeguarding context and needs of the organisation.
Our flagship Sexuality & Making Better Decisions programme sits at the centre of our wider sex education provision. It can be delivered as a broad Sex Education Workshop or built into a connected series alongside specialist sessions on consent, contraception, STIs, teenage pregnancy, healthy relationships, pornography, sexting, sexual harassment and sexual pressure.
Delivery is factual, inclusive, non-judgemental and non-shaming. Participants are not asked to disclose personal sexual experiences. We use realistic scenarios, anonymous questions, structured activities, decision-making exercises and distancing techniques so sensitive topics can be explored without placing pupils under unnecessary personal pressure.

What Are Sex Education Workshops?
Sex Education Workshops are structured educational sessions that help participants understand sexual health, intimate relationships, consent, personal responsibility, protection, online behaviour and routes to support. They are not simply lessons about reproduction or contraception.
A modern Sex Education Workshop should help young people answer practical questions: What does healthy consent look like? How do different contraceptive methods work? Which methods help reduce STI risk? When should somebody consider STI testing? What happens if contraception fails? How can alcohol affect sexual decision making? What if a partner keeps pressuring somebody? What if an intimate image is forwarded? How can pornography affect expectations? Where can confidential sexual-health advice be accessed?
Sex education also needs to give pupils a positive model of sexuality and relationships. The revised statutory guidance for England states that effective RSE should help young people develop safe, fulfilling and healthy sexual relationships at the appropriate time and should be delivered in a factual, non-judgemental way.
Sex Education, RSE and RSHE: What Is the Difference?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not identical. Sex education usually refers most directly to learning about sexual health, reproduction, contraception, pregnancy, STIs, consent and sexual decision making. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) places those topics within a wider understanding of relationships, respect, families, consent, safety and wellbeing. RSHE is commonly used to describe the combined statutory Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education framework.
Our Sex Education Workshops for Schools therefore sit within a wider RSHE programme rather than replacing it. Schools wanting a broader curriculum overview can also explore our RSHE Workshops.
SEX EDUCATION
Sexual health, contraception, STIs, pregnancy, consent, decision making, sexual pressure and access to services.
RSE
Relationships, consent, families, friendships, intimate relationships, sexual health, safety, law and respectful behaviour.
RSHE
Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education considered as a connected statutory programme.
Why Sex Education Workshops Matter in 2026
Young people need more than biological knowledge. They need to understand how sexual health decisions interact with relationships, communication, online behaviour, confidence, peer pressure, alcohol, pornography, privacy and safeguarding.
The revised statutory Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education guidance is for introduction from 1 September 2026. For secondary pupils, the curriculum includes healthy intimate relationships, sexual consent, sexual pressure, contraception, pregnancy choices, STIs including HIV, condom use, testing, treatment, PrEP and PEP, alcohol and drugs, confidential services, online image sharing, pornography and relevant law.
This creates a strong case for joined-up Sex Education Workshops. A lesson on contraception should connect with consent and sexual pressure. STI education should connect with testing and confidential services. Sexting should connect with privacy, consent and image-based abuse. Pornography should connect with expectations, respect and healthy relationships. Treating each topic as completely separate can leave pupils with facts but not the judgement needed to use them.
External workshops can strengthen curriculum delivery, create space for difficult questions and bring specialist facilitation to sensitive topics. They should complement—not replace—the school’s statutory curriculum, safeguarding systems, DSL decision making or access to health professionals.
Sexual Health in Numbers: Current UK Evidence
New STI diagnoses
UKHSA recorded 334,151 new STI diagnoses in England in 2025, an 8.3% decrease from 2024.
Ages 15–24
Young people aged 15–24 accounted for 119,033 new STI diagnoses in 2025; UKHSA says diagnosis rates remain relatively high in this age group.
Under-20 conception rate
ONS reported 28.0 conceptions per 1,000 women aged under 20 in 2023, still below the pre-pandemic 2019 rate.
Sexually coerced extortion cases
IWF recorded 397 sexually coerced extortion cases in 2025, a 127% year-on-year rise; 98% of victims in those cases were boys aged 14–17.
These figures should not be used to frighten pupils or imply that every young person is sexually active. They show why accurate sexual-health education, digital consent, access to services and early safeguarding remain important. A strong workshop presents risk in proportion and avoids using statistics as scare tactics.
The 2020 Dreams READY Sexual Decision Framework
A distinctive element of our Sex Education Workshops is the READY Framework. Instead of telling young people simply to “make good choices”, it gives them five practical areas to consider before a sexual or relationship decision.
Readiness should not be determined by peer pressure, relationship status, fear of losing somebody or what other people claim to be doing.
Healthy sexual decisions require respect for boundaries, the ability to change one’s mind and no coercion or manipulation.
Reliable decisions depend on facts about contraception, STIs, pregnancy, consent, online risks and the law—not rumours, pornography or social-media claims.
Participants consider contraception, condoms, STI prevention, testing, privacy and what to do if a plan fails.
Sexual-health clinics, trusted adults, safeguarding teams and specialist services matter when somebody needs testing, contraception, advice or protection.
READY is an educational decision-making framework, not a substitute for medical or legal advice. It helps participants connect knowledge with real-world judgement.
The Sexual Health Decision Lab: Facts Meet Real Life
Knowing facts does not automatically make a difficult situation easy. Our Sexual Health Decision Lab uses realistic scenarios so pupils can practise applying knowledge when emotion, pressure, embarrassment or uncertainty are involved.
“We Don’t Need a Condom”
A partner says another form of contraception means a condom is unnecessary.
Decision point: Which risks are being considered—pregnancy, STIs, or both?
“Everyone Has Done It”
A young person feels behind because friends claim to be sexually experienced.
Decision point: Should somebody else’s story determine your readiness or boundaries?
“I’m Too Embarrassed to Test”
A student is worried about an STI but fears judgement at a clinic.
Decision point: What does confidentiality mean, and why is testing a health decision rather than a moral judgement?
“It Was Only Sent to Me”
An intimate image arrives in a private message and somebody considers forwarding it to friends.
Decision point: Does receiving private material create permission to redistribute it?
The Decision Lab keeps discussion distanced from pupils’ own experiences. The objective is practical reasoning, not public disclosure.
Consent, Boundaries and Sexual Communication
Consent is one of the foundations of effective sex education. Participants need to understand not just what consent means legally, but how respectful people communicate, respond to uncertainty and handle rejection without pressure or retaliation.
🔹 Choice, freedom and capacity
🔹 Consent to one activity versus another
🔹 Consent can be withdrawn
🔹 Previous consent does not create future entitlement
🔹 Relationships do not remove the need for consent
🔹 Pressure, persistence, guilt and manipulation
🔹 Alcohol and capacity
🔹 Online consent and intimate images
🔹 Communication, care and sexual ethics
For a specialist programme, see our updated Consent Workshops.
Contraception Education: More Than Naming Methods
Sex Education Workshops can provide clear, age-appropriate information about the range of contraceptive methods and the difference between preventing pregnancy and reducing STI risk.
Young people should understand that contraception is not one single product. Options include condoms, internal condoms, combined and progestogen-only pills, implants, injections, patches, vaginal rings, intrauterine devices (IUDs), intrauterine systems (IUSs), diaphragms or caps and emergency contraception. Method suitability and medical advice should come from appropriately qualified health professionals.
A crucial distinction is that only condoms provide protection against STIs as well as helping prevent pregnancy. Other contraceptive methods may be highly effective for pregnancy prevention but do not protect against STIs.
🔹 Pregnancy prevention versus STI prevention
🔹 External and internal condoms
🔹 Hormonal and non-hormonal methods
🔹 Long-acting reversible contraception
🔹 Emergency contraception awareness
🔹 Correcting myths about effectiveness
🔹 Accessing NHS contraception services
🔹 Discussing contraception without embarrassment or pressure
For greater depth, see our Contraception Education Workshops.
STI Education, Testing and Sexual Health Services
STI education should be factual and practical rather than frightening. Many infections can be asymptomatic, which is why testing and access to services matter alongside symptom awareness.
UKHSA recorded 334,151 new STI diagnoses in England in 2025. Among 15–24-year-olds there were 119,033 diagnoses, including 74,917 chlamydia diagnoses and 15,003 gonorrhoea diagnoses. Although diagnoses fell compared with 2024, UKHSA says STI diagnosis rates remain relatively high among young people.
🔹 Chlamydia
🔹 Gonorrhoea
🔹 HIV
🔹 Syphilis
🔹 Genital herpes
🔹 HPV and vaccination awareness
🔹 Symptoms versus asymptomatic infection
🔹 Safer sex and condoms
🔹 Testing and treatment
🔹 Partner notification awareness
🔹 HIV prevention, including PrEP and PEP
🔹 Reducing stigma around testing
NHS sexual-health services provide STI testing and treatment, and many services offer contraception, PrEP, PEP and other sexual-health support. Services are confidential, including for young people under 16, subject to safeguarding exceptions where there is a serious risk of harm.
For a dedicated programme, see our STI Workshops.
Pregnancy, Pregnancy Choices and Teenage Pregnancy Education
Pregnancy education should be medically accurate, impartial and free from stigma. Young people should understand how pregnancy occurs, how pregnancy can be prevented and where to get reliable help if a pregnancy is suspected or confirmed.
The revised statutory secondary RSE guidance requires pupils to understand that there are choices in relation to pregnancy and that information should be medically and legally accurate and impartial. This includes keeping the baby, adoption, abortion and where to obtain further help.
ONS reported that the conception rate among women aged under 20 was 28.0 per 1,000 in 2023, unchanged from 2022 and below the pre-pandemic 2019 rate. The long-term fall in teenage conceptions is important context: education should not present teenage pregnancy as inevitable or rely on outdated crisis statistics.
🔹 How pregnancy occurs
🔹 Preventing unintended pregnancy
🔹 Contraception failure and emergency options
🔹 Pregnancy testing and accessing advice
🔹 Impartial pregnancy choices
🔹 Practical realities of parenting
🔹 Education, work, money and support
🔹 Avoiding stigma towards young parents
For a focused programme, see our Teenage Pregnancy Education Workshop.
Sexual Pressure, Peer Pressure and Readiness
Sex education should make it clear that young people have a choice about whether to have sex and that intimacy does not have to involve sex. The revised statutory guidance explicitly includes strategies for resisting sexual pressure and not pressurising other people.
Peer pressure is often more subtle than somebody issuing a direct demand. It can include jokes about virginity, exaggerated claims about sexual experience, fear of losing a relationship, comparison with friends or the belief that everybody else is already sexually active.
🔹 Recognising social pressure
🔹 Relationship pressure
🔹 Fear of rejection
🔹 Sexual-status myths
🔹 Assertive communication
🔹 Respecting another person’s refusal
🔹 Confidence and self-worth
🔹 The choice to wait
For dedicated work on pressure and decision making, see our Sex & Peer Pressure Workshop.
Pornography Literacy and Sexual Expectations
Pornography is not a reliable form of sex education. It is produced as sexual media or entertainment and may present unrealistic bodies, sexual scripts, performance expectations and communication. Some content can also reinforce objectification, sexual entitlement or distorted ideas about consent.
Our Sex Education Workshops address pornography without showing pornographic material. Pupils can explore:
🔹 Pornography versus real intimacy
🔹 Performance versus communication
🔹 Unrealistic body expectations
🔹 Sexual-performance pressure
🔹 Consent and boundaries
🔹 Misogyny and sexual entitlement
🔹 Repeated viewing and difficult-to-control habits
🔹 Accidental exposure and seeking help
For specialist, non-explicit delivery, see our Pornography Workshops.
Sexting, Intimate Images, Sextortion and Digital Consent
Sexual-health education now overlaps directly with online safety. An intimate image may be created consensually and then copied, forwarded, threatened or manipulated without consent. Young people also face risks from fake accounts, sextortion and AI-generated sexual imagery.
IWF’s 2025 data recorded 397 sexually coerced extortion cases, a 127% year-on-year rise, with boys aged 14–17 making up 98% of victims in those cases. This is one reason sex education must include online pressure and image-based safeguarding rather than treating sexting as an isolated technology issue.
🔹 Pressure to send nudes or semi-nudes
🔹 Consent to create versus consent to share
🔹 Screenshots and forwarding
🔹 Revenge porn and intimate-image abuse
🔹 Sextortion and image-based blackmail
🔹 Fake accounts and grooming
🔹 AI deepfakes and nudification
🔹 Digital privacy and evidence preservation
🔹 Reporting and safeguarding
For dedicated delivery around image sharing, online privacy, revenge porn and sextortion, see our Sexting Workshops.
Healthy Relationships, Intimacy and Communication
Sexual-health information makes more sense when it sits within a wider understanding of relationships. Young people need positive examples of what respect, trust, equality, communication and care look like—not only lists of abusive behaviour.
For deeper relationship education, see our Healthy Relationships Workshops.
Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence and Harmful Sexual Behaviour
Sex Education Workshops should help young people identify unacceptable sexual behaviour and understand how to seek support. This can include harassment and pressure that happen face to face or online.
🔹 Unwanted sexual comments
🔹 Sexualised bullying
🔹 Unwanted touching
🔹 Repeated sexual requests after refusal
🔹 Coercion and pressure
🔹 Image-based sexual harassment
🔹 Sexual assault and rape awareness
🔹 Bystander choices
🔹 Reporting and supporting somebody without blame
For specialist prevention and safeguarding work, see our Sexual Harassment & Sexual Violence Workshop.
Alcohol, Drugs, Spiking and Sexual Decision Making
Alcohol and drugs can affect judgement, communication, vulnerability and capacity. Sex education must cover this carefully without suggesting that somebody is responsible for being assaulted because they consumed alcohol or drugs.
🔹 Intoxication and judgement
🔹 Capacity to consent
🔹 Spiking awareness
🔹 Nightlife and post-16 settings
🔹 Supporting a vulnerable friend
🔹 Contraception and safer-sex planning
🔹 Seeking medical or safeguarding help
For post-16 settings wanting a dedicated programme, see our Teen Drinking: Alcohol, Consent, Sex & Spiking Workshop.
Online Safety and Sex Education
Online safety and sexual health now overlap across pornography, sexting, grooming, fake identities, sexual scams, image-based abuse, deepfakes and digital footprints. A young person can make a sexual-health decision in a private chat that creates a safeguarding issue far beyond the original conversation.
Sex education therefore includes practical digital judgement: understanding privacy, recognising manipulation, not forwarding intimate material, preserving appropriate evidence, reporting harmful content and asking for help early.
For wider digital safeguarding, see our Online Safety Workshops.
Body Image, Sexual Confidence and Performance Pressure
Young people can experience pressure around appearance, sexual experience, masculinity, femininity and sexual performance. Pornography, edited images, fitness content and peer stories can make ordinary bodies or relationships feel inadequate.
Our workshops help participants separate self-worth from sexual status or appearance. This includes challenging the idea that confidence means always wanting sex, that masculinity depends on sexual experience or that somebody must look a certain way to be desirable or respected.
🔹 Body comparison
🔹 Sexual-status pressure
🔹 Performance anxiety
🔹 Masculinity and femininity stereotypes
🔹 Rejection and self-worth
🔹 Respect for different choices and experiences
Exploitation, Grooming and Vulnerable Young People
For some groups, sex education also needs to address exploitation. A young person may experience gifts, money, accommodation, transport, substances, affection or status being used to create dependency or sexual obligation.
Vulnerability should never be treated as consent to exploitation. Workshops can help participants recognise grooming patterns, pressure, transactional dynamics, unsafe adults, controlling relationships and routes to support.
🔹 Grooming and trust building
🔹 Gifts and obligation
🔹 Exploitation within peer groups
🔹 Survival sex and vulnerability
🔹 Online grooming
🔹 Criminal exploitation and overlapping risks
🔹 Recognising trusted adults and services
Where a setting needs a dedicated safeguarding intervention, this content can be connected with specialist grooming, exploitation or relationship-abuse programmes.
Sex Education Workshop Overview
Sex Education and the Revised RSHE Requirements for September 2026
The Department for Education published revised statutory Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education guidance in July 2025 for introduction on 1 September 2026.
For secondary pupils, RSE includes healthy intimate relationships, sexual consent, sexual pressure, contraception, pregnancy choices, STIs including HIV, safer sex and condoms, testing, treatment, PrEP and PEP, alcohol and drugs, confidential sexual-health services, pornography, online image sharing, grooming, exploitation and relevant law.
The guidance states that sex and sexual health should be taught in an age-appropriate, inclusive, factual and non-judgemental way. It also recognises the value of distancing techniques, ground rules and anonymous questions when dealing with sensitive content.
For primary schools, compulsory Relationships Education focuses on positive relationships, permission, privacy, personal space, boundaries, safe and unsafe contact and help-seeking. Sex education beyond the national curriculum for science is not compulsory in primary schools, although the Department for Education recommends that primary schools have an age-appropriate programme tailored to pupils’ physical and emotional maturity.
Where primary schools commission additional sex education, the content should reflect the school’s policy, age appropriateness and parental consultation requirements. Our primary provision is therefore substantially different from secondary sexual-health delivery.
KCSIE 2025 remains in force until 31 August 2026 and KCSIE 2026 comes into force on 1 September 2026. Any safeguarding disclosure arising during a workshop remains subject to the commissioning setting’s safeguarding procedures.
External-provider role: 2020 Dreams workshops can enhance RSHE and sexual-health education, but schools remain responsible for curriculum policy, age appropriateness, safeguarding, parental transparency and statutory duties.
Staff Sex Education Training for Schools and Professionals
Staff Sex Education Training is available for teachers, DSLs, pastoral teams, senior leaders, school nurses, youth workers, college and university staff, charities, safeguarding teams and other professionals.
Staff training can focus on both curriculum confidence and safeguarding practice:
🔹 Sex education and RSHE 2026
🔹 Age-appropriate sexual-health language
🔹 Consent, boundaries and sexual pressure
🔹 Contraception and safer sex
🔹 STIs, HIV, PrEP, PEP and testing
🔹 Pregnancy and impartial pregnancy-choice education
🔹 Pornography and sexual expectations
🔹 Sexting, intimate images and sextortion
🔹 Online sexual harms and AI deepfakes
🔹 Sexual harassment and harmful sexual behaviour
🔹 Managing anonymous and difficult questions
🔹 Responding to disclosures
🔹 Distancing techniques and ground rules
🔹 SEND adaptation
🔹 Parent communication and curriculum transparency
For bespoke CPD/INSET and professional delivery, see our Staff Sex Education Training.
Sex Education Workshops for Parents and Carers
Parents and carers are often expected to answer questions about sex, relationships, contraception, pornography and online behaviour without having had up-to-date sexual-health education themselves. Parent sessions can help adults use accurate language and keep communication open without turning every conversation into a lecture.
🔹 Age-appropriate conversations
🔹 Puberty and growing up
🔹 Consent and personal boundaries
🔹 Contraception and sexual-health services
🔹 STIs and testing
🔹 Pornography and online sexual content
🔹 Sexting and intimate images
🔹 Relationship pressure and coercion
🔹 How to respond to a disclosure
🔹 When professional or safeguarding support is needed
The aim is not to replace family values or conversations. It is to give parents accurate information and practical confidence so young people have trusted adults they can approach before a problem escalates.
Sex Education Workshops by Age Group
Primary Schools: Relationships, Puberty and Foundations
Primary provision focuses on relationships, permission, privacy, personal space, body autonomy, puberty, growing up, trusted adults and age-appropriate preparation for adolescence. Where a school chooses additional sex education, content is agreed in advance and tailored to maturity and school policy.
Aims: build safe foundations without importing explicit secondary sexual-health content into primary.
Sex Education Workshops for Secondary Schools
Secondary programmes can cover consent, sexual pressure, contraception, STIs, pregnancy, pornography, sexting, healthy relationships, harassment, online sexual harms, sexual-health services and relevant law.
Aims: accurate sexual-health knowledge, practical decision making, healthier relationships and confident help-seeking.
Sex Education Workshops for Sixth Forms and Colleges
Post-16 programmes can explore adult sexual-health services, contraception, testing, nightlife, alcohol, spiking, dating apps, intimate images, pornography, sexual ethics, consent and relationship power in greater depth.
Aims: practical preparation for greater independence, relationships and access to adult sexual-health services.
Sex Education Workshops for Universities and Adults
University and adult programmes can support induction, Freshers, student wellbeing, sexual-health campaigns, professional training and safer campus culture. Topics can include consent, contraception, testing, spiking, dating, image-based abuse, harassment and support pathways.
Aims: mature sexual-health literacy, safer relationships, informed choices and stronger awareness of support.
Sex Education Workshops for SEND, SEMH, PRUs and Alternative Provision
Sex Education Workshops can be adapted for SEND, SEMH, PRUs and alternative provision through clearer language, visual prompts, repetition, smaller groups, concrete examples and additional processing time.
Some learners benefit from explicit teaching about concepts that other pupils may pick up indirectly: private versus public behaviour, friendship versus romantic interest, personal space, consent, appropriate touch, online image requests, contraception, sexual-health services, recognising pressure and how to ask for help.
Adaptation should reflect the needs of the actual learners rather than assuming all pupils with SEND require the same content. Where a setting is managing significant individual safeguarding concerns, planning should involve the DSL, SENCO or relevant pastoral lead.
Benefits of Sex Education Workshops
Pupils receive current information about contraception, STIs, pregnancy, testing and services rather than relying on rumours or social media.
Sexual health is connected with boundaries, communication, respect, pressure and healthy intimacy.
Scenarios help pupils use knowledge when real situations involve embarrassment, emotion, pressure or uncertainty.
Sexting, intimate images, pornography, sextortion, online grooming and AI-generated sexual imagery are included where age appropriate.
Workshops complement current statutory learning around intimate relationships, consent, sexual health, online behaviour, pressure, services and safeguarding.
Pupils learn where confidential sexual-health services are available and when a trusted adult or safeguarding professional should be involved.
How We Deliver Sex Education Workshops
READY? → EQUAL? → AWARE? → DEFENDED? → YOUR SUPPORT connects readiness, consent, information, protection and help-seeking.
Realistic scenarios allow pupils to apply knowledge about condoms, testing, sexual pressure, consent and intimate images.
Where appropriate, question-box techniques help pupils raise genuine concerns without being required to speak publicly.
Fictional situations and third-person discussion reduce pressure to reveal personal sexual experiences.
Sessions provide factual information without shaming pupils for sexual activity, inexperience, identity, questions or use of health services.
Facilitators maintain clear boundaries around disclosure and follow the commissioning setting’s safeguarding procedures.
Primary, secondary, post-16, university, SEND and professional programmes are adapted rather than delivered as one generic presentation.
Face-to-face delivery is available across the UK with virtual options for UK and international organisations.
