Setting up a new service

Services include:

• free condoms,
• pregnancy testing
• STI testing in the form of Postal Testing Kits (PTKs) (where appropriate)
• signposting to young peoples sexual health clinics
• support of a trusted adult to talk to about sexual health and relationships.

These services can be offered in regular, advertised Healthy Respect drop-in, or by ad hoc, flexible 1-2-1 using Healthy Respect kit bag approach.

All organisations wanting to deliver Healthy Respect services will sign a service partnership agreement. This document outlines the process and expectations around becoming a Healthy Respect service partner. Organisations must be part of an established service working with young people, with appropriate policies and structures in place.

Get in touch

All partners are trained and have guidance to support them to create safe places where young people can speak with a trusted adult. Where appropriate, young people will be signposted to other services and encouraged to speak to trusted adults within their lives.

Any questions, concerns or any changes in service delivery, just get in touch with our lead for services, information and training by emailing loth.healthyrespect@nhs.scot.
