Contraception Champion Scheme
The Hertfordshire Contraception Champion scheme is for all frontline practitioners/professionals across a wide range of organisations and services in Hertfordshire, including from Children’s Services, Health, Education, and adults services including social care and drug and alcohol services and the aim is to support and encourage conversations with residents and service users that promote contraception and good sexual health and signposting to contraception and sexual health services.
A Contraception Champion is a practitioner who:
- Pro-actively has conversations that promote good sexual health and the use of contraception through their role working with residents and service-users.
- Signposts residents and service-users towards local contraception and sexual health services.
- Promotes key prevention messages to all sexually active men and women, highlighting how individuals can reduce their risk of catching or passing on HIV, an STI, or risking an unplanned pregnancy.
