The National Working Group on sex education in schools in the UK

In May 2000 we were sent a report on the PSHE for school by the Education and Health departments. We addressed the lack of specific reference to Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual issues in the report. We also concluded that the National Working Group Panel failed to have experts on the working group from representation from the schools of Psychology and LGB groups. We concluded that over all, it was the first report and that changes were required in the National Working
Group Panel. There must be representatives on the panel who are familar with Education Psychology and Gay youth.

We are currently investigating the following:

• Gayteen suicide link with countries that have a higher age of gay consent law in particular Washington DC, Spain and British Isles. Aims - Methods-
