The annual Pamela Sheridan Award recognises good practice in sex and relationships education (SRE) within a wide range of settings, for example, primary, secondary, special needs schools, and youth and community projects.

For the 2010 award we also invited applications from projects that establish a partnership between schools and parents and carers to support the delivery of good quality SRE both in school and at home.

Pamela Sheridan (1911–1994) had a lifelong involvement in family planning and was an early sex education pioneer. Her family established this award in her memory.

The joint winners of the 2010 Pamela Sheridan Award were Brook for All Different, All Beautiful, a project aimed at vulnerable 13 to 19 year olds in the Wirral area. Brook shared the prize with pro-choice charity Education for Choice, for their project Talk about Choice, which targeted the same age group in London with information about pregnancy choices.

Sharing good practice

The 2010 award winners will have the opportunity to share their practice with other SRE professionals at a Sex Education Forum conference supported by FPA to be held in London in October 2010. They will be invited to talk about their projects and be presented with the Pamela Sheridan Award.

The judges will also identify a number of commendable projects, who will be invited to run workshops at the conference. All chosen projects will have the opportunity to have information about their work published by the Sex Education Forum.
