Mae ein hadroddiad newydd yn galw i wella'r ffyrdd yr ydym yn addysgu pobl ifanc am reoli eu hiechyd rhywiol. Mae angen i wersi fod yn fwy cynhwysol, cynhwysfawr ac amserol, a rhoi'r sgiliau i bobl ifanc asesu'n feirniadol yr hyn a welant ar-lein. https://t.co/kNKYPCk5Es

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

Our new EASY report is a call for action to improve the ways we educate young people about sexual health. Lessons need to be inclusive, comprehensive & timely & also provide the skills to critically assess content on social media & identify misinformation. https://t.co/KYRMbLHB7k

[Brook Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BrookCymru]

Ymgysylltom gyda 2,700+ o bobl ifanc am eu hagwedd a'u profiadau condomau a dulliau atal cenhedlu. Maent eisiau ACRh cynhwysfawr, cynhwysol ledled yr ysgol uwchradd i wneud dewisiadau gwybodus, iach am atal cenhedlu, condomau ac atal STI. https://t.co/kNKYPCjxOU

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

We surveyed 2,700+ young people about attitudes & experiences of condoms & contraception. They want comprehensive, inclusive RSE throughout secondary school to make informed, healthy choices about contraception, condoms, & STI prevention. Read our report⬇️ https://t.co/9dj0KhOD9f

Mae'r argymhellion yn galw am fwy o dryloywder gwybodaeth iechyd rhywiol a rennir ar-lein, bod y wybodaeth yn amserol a chynhwysol, a'r angen i weithio gyda chlinigwyr i nodi rhwystrau sy'n atal pobl ifanc rhag teimlo eu bod yn cael eu clywed.

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

The recommendations call for increased transparency of sexual health information shared online, timely and inclusive RSE, and engaging clinicians to identify barriers to ensure young people feel heard

[Brook Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BrookCymru]

Er mwyn ein helpu i ddeall y stori y tu ôl i rywfaint o'r data hwn, gwnaethom gynnal ymchwil newydd. Mae addysg, mynediad, stigma a phobl ifanc (EASY), yn archwilio agweddau pobl ifanc at gondomau, atal cenhedlu ac iechyd rhywiol.

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

To help us understand the story behind some of this data, we conducted new research. Education, access, stigma and young people (EASY), explores young people's attitudes to condoms, contraception and sexual health

[Brook Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BrookCymru]

Ar yr un pryd, mae pobl ifanc yn adrodd nad yw'r ACRh y maent yn ei dderbyn yn yr ysgol bob amser yn gynhwysfawr nac yn amserol, ac mae pobl ifanc LHDT+ yn teimlo'n arbennig o anfodlon â'r wybodaeth a'r gefnogaeth y maent yn eu derbyn.

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

At the same time, young people are reporting that the RSE they receive in school is not always comprehensive or timely, and LGBT+ young people feel particularly dissatisfied with the information and support they receive

[Brook Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BrookCymru]

Mae data cenedlaethol yn dangos cynnydd pryderus mewn cyfraddau STI, yn ogystal â gostyngiad yn nifer y bobl ifanc 16-24 oed sy'n cael mynediad at atal cenhedlu a chynnydd yn y defnydd o atal cenhedlu brys. Mae hyn yn rhoi mwy o alw ar wasanaethau iechyd rhywiol sydd o dan bwysau

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

National data shows a concerning rise in STI rates, as well as a decline in 16-24 year-olds accessing contraception and an increase in emergency contraception use. This is placing increased demand on sexual health services already under pressure from continued public health cuts

[Brook Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BrookCymru]

Yn ein hymchwil ddiweddaraf gyda mwy na 2,700 o bobl ifanc (16-24), dywedodd un pumed wrthym nad oeddent byth yn defnyddio condomau yn ystod rhyw treiddiol ac nad oedd 49% yn gwybod ble i gael mynediad i gondomau am ddim. https://t.co/kNKYPCk5Es

[Brook🏳️‍🌈 @BrookCharity]

In our latest research with more than 2,700 young people (16-24), one fifth told us they never use condoms during penetrative sex and 49% did not know where to access free condoms https://t.co/9dj0KhOD9f

In 2022, 53% of people accessing Brook’s services said they didn’t use a condom. Meanwhile data from @UKHSA shows that STI rates are soaring, with a 50.3% increase in Gonorrhoea diagnoses.

That's why we've launched our new #SaferSexRules campaign: https://t.co/R2hfie5zzh
