Why Your Choice Your Voice (YCYV)?
Our sessions include 4 key topics within the 2026 RSHE Curriculum. Run by the sexual health outreach team who handles all the non-clinical sexual health services and education within the borough of Bexley.
How much does it cost?
YCYV is fully funded by the London Borough of Bexley, making it 100% FREE to all secondary schools in the borough
What is the aim of this program?
Our aim is to tackle the current issues in the borough:
-Low STI testing rates
-High HIV prevalence
-High under 18 conception/termination rates
-Late HIV diagnosis
-Low awareness of services
Why Year 9?
Research has shown that RSHE at this age helps to prevent unsafe sexual choices, improve confidence and self-esteem in relationships, increased communication skills and consent awareness, knowledge of services for when they’re required.
Are your sessions appropriate for children in this year group?
Following national guidelines and using factual information and research, all lessons provide the necessary information appropriate for 13–14-year-olds.
What if students find the topic(s) uncomfortable?
If students feel uncomfortable, they can excuse themselves from the lesson in line with the schools’ policies. Participation is highly encouraged but never forced! We also provide handouts in case student require support in our absence.
I am interested in sessions for other year groups, what can you offer?
Our team offers outreach sessions for all ages. Please click on the additional dropdowns on this page to see our options for schools and colleges.
We are preparing an educational offer for Bexley schools and colleges that we hope to circulate soon.
In the meantime, please see the tabs below for details of what we can currently offer for students and staff.
Available for ages 16+
(this offer can be adapted for younger age groups - please contact us if you would like to discuss this further).
Our outreach team can visit your school or college with a free health promotion stall or drop-in session where students aged 16+ can access free condoms, STI self-testing kits, advice, and information about local sexual health services.
This is a great way to support students with accurate information and resources, so that they can have safe, healthy and positive relationships.
Stalls can be set up in spaces such as sixth-form common rooms or canteens, or we can run a 1-1 drop-in session in a confidential space.
Both forms of outreach can be delivered on either a one-off or termly basis: please email us to discuss what might work best for your students.

We know that teaching and talking about sexual health with young people can feel challenging.
We deliver free sexual health training for Bexley professionals, aimed at increasing:
- Understanding of current themes, priorities and challenges within sexual health
- Knowledge of the laws, ethics and safeguarding regarding sexual health
- Confidence to deliver accurate, empowering messaging around contraception and STIs
- Awareness of local sexual health services (for all age groups).
To book onto a free training, please visit our Eventbrite page.
We run the London C-Card Scheme for Bexley: a free condom distribution scheme for under-25s. This initiative aims to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies in young people's relationships.
Schools and colleges are welcome to sign up as outlets for the C-Card Scheme. We provide you with everything you need, so the scheme is cost-free - and a great way of supporting your students with their sexual health.
