Public Policy

Love for Life has become a significant contributor to political debate and Government and Departmental strategy and policy development around Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) and risk taking behaviours of young people.

As well as active membership on Departmental working groups, Love for Life regularly responds to Government consultations on a range of policy issues affecting children and underage young people, ensuring that policy direction is primary prevention centred and contributes to achieving the Love for Life vision.
 
Love for Life is committed to partnering and networking with other organisations within the statutory, voluntary and faith sector around issues of common concern with regards to Relationships and Sexuality Education in Northern Ireland.

“Your involvement in both the Sexual Health Promotion Strategy and the Teenage Pregnancy and Parenthood Strategy has been extremely helpful in shaping these strategies and in highlighting some of the very sensitive areas that need to be addressed if we are to improve the health and well-being of young people.” (Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, Northern Ireland).
