Training matters – Operational Guidance for Training Sexuality Educators

This publication provides operational guidance to support the training of sexuality educators. It is aimed at professionals in the WHO European Region who are involved in designing, developing, and implementing training programmes for sexuality educators. It is primarily focused on sexuality educators in school settings, although much of the content is also relevant for those providing CSE within nonformal settings.

The operational guidance aims to encourage and support providing an increase in training, by furnishing a simple and clear overview of how training may be best planned and implemented. This framework for training can be adapted and further developed to suit the different needs and contexts, and includes sample practical activities and checklists for trainers on different topics, which can be used or adapted during training. It also contains practical tips for sexuality educators relating to CSE in the classroom as well as recommended resources and links to additional materials and guidance.

Target groups: educational institutions, healthcare authorities, and professionals working in the fields of education and healthcare.
