Summary of report content

Tees Valley Youthwatch (Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees, Healthwatch Middlesbrough and Healthwatch Redcar and Cleveland) explored the theme of sexual health as this was a subject that few people spoke about outside school PSHE lessons.  They ran two interactive workshops of young people.

Young people want to be informed about what is available to them in their local communities about sexual health.  Many felt that their problem would have to be very severe before speaking to their GP as they were worried about their family finding out.  They would like to see information about sexual health services shared more in the local area in a way that speaks to them as young people.
