Description
Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are commissioning a Bi-borough Sexual Health Promotion, Prevention and Support Service. The aims of the new service are as follows:-
A three-tiered approach to the service model this includes:
- Universal is to support the population, meaning that it is accessible to all without the need to have a special need.
- Targeted support is an enhanced level to pockets of the population such as young people or areas of deprivation.
- Specialist services are those provided on a one-to-one basis and usually includes assessments and interventions are evidenced based.
Within these tiers we expect to see:
- Counselling online and face to face
- Campaigns and other forms of prevention methods
- Online presence and innovative digital offer
- Complimentary therapies
- Peer mentoring and support
By building upon the model we would expect the following outcomes for residents:
- Improved access and understanding of reproductive health
- The prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Minimising risk-taking behaviors and their health consequences
- Promoting positive sexual relationships and sexual wellbeing
Our ambition is to increase uptake and encourage early access to services for those residents affected by stigma or discrimination experienced by:
- LGBTI people

- people with communication support needs
