Evaluation of the use of drama in sex and relationship education.

A programme of sex and relationship education was delivered in a comprehensive school in North Yorkshire by a theatre company. The programme was supported by a series of preparatory and follow-up workshops and was evaluated by a questionnaire before and after the intervention to measure changes in pupil's knowledge and attitudes. The evaluation found that the theatre production made a useful contribution to sex and relationship education. It also suggested improvements in the way the programme could be delivered.
