Become a Hertfordshire Contraception Champion!

Contraception Champions play a vital role in promoting healthy relationships, supporting conversations about contraception and sexual health, sharing prevention messages, and signposting Hertfordshire residents to appropriate local services. The scheme is open to practitioners working across Health, Education, Children's Services, Adult Social Care, Drugs and Alcohol Services, and other frontline roles.

The scheme does not require you to provide clinical advice. It is about helping people access the right information and services when they need them, within the role you are in.

As a Contraception Champion, you'll:
  • Help start conversations about contraception and sexual health.
  • Signpost residents and service users to local services.
  • Promote key prevention messages around STIs, HIV and unplanned pregnancy.
  • Access ongoing learning and development opportunities to build your confidence and knowledge. 
Champions receive guidance, resources, training opportunities and regular updates to help them feel confident having these important conversations.
