RSE education and training
Brook provides relationships and sex education (RSE) workshops in schools and other settings. These sessions aim to generate evidence-based discussions around sex, sexuality and relationships for young people. These are available free of charge to years 9,10 and 11 at all schools in Cornwall.
Training is also available for professionals working with children and young people to offer support and guidance on specialist topics relating to RSE.
