Abortion Fact Sheet
We have just had an updated fact sheet for abortion to support the RSE sessions for teachers to use. The abortion care factsheet is a free resource for professionals in secondary schools to use in relationships and sex education (RSE) lessons. It aims to ensure that professionals involved in educating young people have a factually accurate, unbiased and evidence-based source of information about abortion in the UK. A 2021 version of the abortion care factsheet is now available, providing an accurate, up-to-date source of factual information.
