Outreach and educational services for Bristol & South Gloucestershire

Service changing 1st April 2025

From 1st April, this service will become a part of the Yuno sexual health partnership. Check back here after then to learn about the new service.

Brook Bristol has been commissioned to offer free Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), Accessing Sexual Health Services assemblies to young people, and free professionals training through Unity Sexual Health.  We are also able to deliver RSE sessions and workshops on a large range of topics.

The programme aims to enhance delivery of statutory RSE, in line with DfE guidance and will equip teachers and school staff, across primary and secondary schools, to implement a whole school approach, give individuals the skills/confidence to deliver an RSE programme that is fit for purpose and respond to the needs of young people.

Sessions for young people

My life: One-to-one relationships and sex education

The My Life One-to-One programme is available for young people aged 11-19 (and 20-24 year olds who are being safeguarded due to additional needs), who need additional Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) support in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.

The work requested must be for education purposes only as this is not a counselling service so we cannot support with any work around trauma. We cannot support with general wellbeing, self-esteem, or any mental health concerns, such as self-harm or eating disorders.

It is important the young person consents to a referral being made to Brook.

To refer a young person, please complete the referral form. It is vital that you read the new referral criteria carefully, and give as much relevant information as possible to enable us to triage the referral effectively

Small Group Sessions

We will soon be starting to offer small group work sessions, which may be an alternative to 1-1s for some young people. Please contact us by email bristol121@brook.org.uk to show your interest and we can send you the information once it is finalised.

Free Accessing Sexual Health Services Assemblies

Suitable for years 9-13, our free assembly covers how and why a young person would need to access sexual health services, a short refresher on contraception and STIs, along with signposting to local services.

We are able to offer this assembly once a year to each year group in Bristol and South Gloucestershire schools and colleges, as well as other local youth organisations.

RSE sessions and workshops

Brook provides participative, informative and engaging sessions in schools and other settings aimed at facilitating evidence-based discussions around sex, sexuality and relationships.

These sessions increase young people’s knowledge and provide them with the vocabulary and skills to communicate with their peers, parents and professionals.
