HPV and cervical cancer lesson plans
Teenage Cancer Trust has worked with Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust to produce 2 lesson plans aimed at raising awareness of HPV, the importance of the vaccination and screening. Lesson 1 is designed to be taught to y8/s1 students, ideally prior to being offered the HPV vaccine, to encourage understanding and open discussion about the HPV vaccination. Lesson plan 2 is designed to be taught to year 10/s3 and above, to remind students about the implications of HPV, importance of the vaccination and how screening can help. Both lesson plans have accompanying resources and support information for teachers.
