Description

This unit explores normal pubertal changes and when to seek help. Pupils learn about brain development during adolescence, understand menstrual health including how cycles change with age, recognise period problems, and know when and how to access professional support.

As Year 9 pupils experience ongoing pubertal changes, they need to distinguish between normal development and symptoms requiring medical attention. This unit provides essential knowledge about menstrual health conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, supporting pupils to recognise when professional help is needed.

  1. Changes in puberty and when to seek help
