The findings contribute to an understanding of sources of information and support preferred by adolescents. In particular, they need to reconsider how services external to the school may be developed so they are youth-focused and approachable. Nurses need to consider how best to work in partnership with adolescents and their families to disseminate accurate information and develop relevant services.

“…It suggests a reconstruction of childhood that, especially by the 1970s, began to incorporate recognition of children's bodies as being sexual and reproductive, both in their here and now and as adult works-inprogress (see also Pilcher, 2005). A shift in the vision of sex education for school children was signalled in the annual report of the Chief Medical Officer to the Department of Education and Science for 1971-2, where an argument is made for sex education as a part of a wider programme that deals with selfawareness and human relations (Department of Education and Science, 1974: 49).…”

This article focuses on a neglected topic in the historical sociology of childhood, namely health education, and explores a neglected theme, namely the gendered character of (re)constructions of childhood. Drawing on primary sources, the article argues that while health education for children played an important role in a broader set of British national, political strategies to ensure the health and fitness of `the Nation' during the 20th century, it was girls who were the primary targets and recipients. Gender was thus central to the `body work' in childhood that the official publications on health education sought to promote.

“…The DfES launched a pilot scheme in 2001 to accredit teachers of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE), a scheme aimed to improve the quality of SRE within the context of Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE) in schools. As a result of the pilot, a new emphasis to improve the quality of sex education now includes SRE as one of the components of PSHE, and a Certificate of the Teaching of PSHE is awarded to teachers upon successful completion of training (Thomson and Blake 2002;Pilcher 2005;Warwick, Aggleton, and Rivers 2005).…”
