New Abortion Care Resource Launched to Support Relationships and Sex Education Lessons in Schools

The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) have launched a free Abortion Factsheet resource to support teachers with relationships and sex education (RSE) lessons in secondary schools in the UK. FSRH RCOG Abortion Care Factsheet RSE Lessons

Endorsed by Public Health England, the Sex Education Forum and PSHE Association, it aims to dispel some of the misinformation around this topic. Despite being a common medical procedure, myths about abortion and stigma are widespread, including in the classroom.

This factsheet provides accurate, up-to-date factual information about abortion and abortion care in the UK. It counters myths that are known to be taught in schools such as abortion causing infertility and mental illness.
