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.
