Presenting the English Primary Sources Sample Clauses

Presenting the English Primary Sources. The documents that have been selected for analysis reflect some of the key developments in the field of sexual health policy in England. These are reviewed in the next chapter (see Chapter Three). In the English policy context, the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy (TPS) and the National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV, from 1999 and 2001 respectively represent two key sexual health documents. Since they fall outside the period chosen for this study, they are not included in the analysis. However, half of the texts analysed here (documents 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7) represent reports and texts produced in relation to (and addressing in some way) the implementation of the original TPS and the National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV. The other five documents include two public health white papers (document 1 and 6) that were published during the period covered in the study, and three interrelated documents of relevance for sexual health policy since the end of the TPS and the National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV; the New Framework for Sexual Health improvement in England, which replaces the previous strategies (document 9), the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) for England which functions as the Government’s public health monitoring tool (document 8), and a document titled Making it work, with guidance for local authorities on how the new sexual health framework is to be commissioned successfully (document 10). It is worth mentioning that the policy documents included in the analysis tend to be on sexual health in general, rather than youth sexual health, with the exception of those directly linked to the TPS. All non-TPS documents have been included because they make references to youth as a specific group, or mention young people in a significant way and represent influential government guidance. Other youth specific policy documents such as the Improving Children and Young People’s Health Outcomes from 2013, could have been relevant for the study. However, none of these texts, which refer to children/young people specifically make any significant references to sex/sexuality/sexual health. The documents selected are those where the ‘young people-sexual health’ intersection is given more space, although only the TPS documents fulfil this criterion entirely. Finally, the selected English texts are listed in table 2, below. Table 2. List of English Documents
