Party Hard, Party Safe!!

Winner of the North West Public Health Award 2009!!!

Special thanks to 360, The Parallel, Youth Services, Schools, Teachers and Learning Mentors, Bolton NHS, Healthy Schools and Teenage Pregnancy Team.

Party Hard, Party Safe is a two lesson multi-agency initiative followed by a nurse drop-in that educates young people about the dangers and risks of underage sex and underage drinking and supports them to make an informed choice.  Most Schools in Bolton have included in their year 11 cirriculum.  All the sixth forms and colleges in Bolton have accepted the programme

Since the programme has been developed and roled out in Bolton Schools and Colleges, there has been a small decrease in the teenage conception rates.  This is against the most recent increase between 2006-2007.  Bolton's rates of chlamydia and teenage conceptions continue to remain higher than the national average which is why projects such as Party Hard, Party Safe continue to be an important part in improving the sex and relationship education in our Schools
