" Sex and relationship education (SRE) should be compulsory for school children from a young age, the Family Planning Association (fpa) has said. The association is concerned that the existing provision of sex education is &amp;#039;inadequate&amp;#039; and that young people are not provided with the necessary information to help them make informed decisions about when to have sex. A spokesman for the fpa commented: &amp;#039;For young people, they must be able to access extra help and information and services to meet their needs. &amp;#039;At the moment it&amp;#039;s only compulsory for schools to teach the basic biological aspects of sex and this is inadequate,&amp;#039; he continued. &amp;#039;SRE should be provided as part of social and health education. It&amp;#039;s got to include the emotional as well as the physical side of sex and relationships.&amp;#039; Figures published in November 2007 show that young adults&amp;#039; sexual health worsened during 2006, with one in ten screened for chlamydia testing positive and cases of herpes and genital warts on the increase. \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
