The survey of school clinic (provisions) was carried out by the National Children's Bureau on behalf of the Sex Education Forum. It found that single-sex, faith and (independent) schools were less likely to have clinics. Just 14 per cent of all-girl schools and 10 per cent of boys' schools had them. Only a fraction of the clinics restrict services to children over 16 - the legal age of (consent). Among further education colleges, which teach four in ten 16-year-olds and growing numbers of 14-year-olds, almost three- quarters have on-site sexual health services. Some colleges offer (condoms) only in (emergencies) but others provide them in vending machines. The report admits there is a 'lack of research (evidence) about the effectiveness of school-based clinics, (accessible) by children as young as 11. But it says: 'School is the one place that the large (majority) of children and young people attend. 'Not all young people will need to use a (sexual health) service at school age, but providing a service in school is the best way of making sure that those young people who need the service can use it.'
