Young People

Welcome to the young people's section. This section is for young people who are in their teens or approaching their teens. We hope it gives you the information you are looking for about sexual health and relationships. If you can't find what you're looking for, please contact us and we'll try and add the information to the website.

If you need more information or you want to talk to someone you can always come to your nearest Sandyford  or young people's service to talk to someone or try searching in the Sandyford Library for information.

 

Choices for Life is a new website aimed at all 11-18 year olds, teachers, youth workers and parents or carers. The website is the place to get credible and reliable information on issues such as relationships and online safety.

You wouldn't give a stranger lots of personal information in the real world, so it shouldn't be any different online - and a new campaign by Strathclyde Police explains why.

Have you heard about the new Free Condom service.

All the products are 'free' and staff involved will be friendly and approachable!  There are over 170 places where you can pick up Free Condoms.  Why not have a look to find your nearest pick-up-point at www.freecondomsglasgowandclyde.org.

If you would like a supply of our choice cards just email the Free Condoms Service with your full postal address to: freecondoms@ggc.scot.nhs.uk.
