Factsheets
A REASONABLE APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE
Issues to be considered in the context of the debate on parental smacking
2004, 4pp Price: £1.50 for 10 copies; £6.50 for 50 copies Download as a pdf
There are few issues surrounding contemporary parenting more hotly debated
than smacking. In recent years, a method of discipline used by the majority
of parents across all cultures for generations has been stigmatised like
no other. It is an issue calculated to arouse such strong emotions that
the facts can easily get lost in the heat of the debate. This factsheet
aims to take a calm dispassionate look at: the current law in England
and Wales; the likely effects of a change in the law on parental smacking;
the extent and impact of smacking bans in other parts of Europe; the
findings of academic research; public opinion polls; and the implications
of the evidence for public policy.
LESSONS IN DUTCH MYTHOLOGY 2003, 4pp
Price: £1.50 for 10 copies; £6.50 for 50 copies Download as a pdf
Based on Joost van Loon's report Deconstructing the Dutch Utopia (see
p.1), this factsheet summarises the reasons why sex education cannot
account for the vast difference between teenage pregnancy rates in the
UK compared with the Netherlands. It highlights eight factors which offer
a more credible explanation and concludes that high rates of teenage
pregnancy in the UK cannot be effectively addressed until the central
importance of family structure is recognized.
THE CONDOM CONTROVERSY Safe Sex or Russian Roulette? by Trevor Stammers
2002, 4pp Price: £1.00 for 10 copies; £4.00
for 50 copies Download as a pdf Dr Trevor Stammers,
a GP with over 20 years of experience, warns that reliance on condoms could
actually increase the number of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) to which sexually active people - especially young people
- are exposed. Dr Stammers suggests replacing campaigns for ‘safer sex' with an awareness of the benefits of ‘saved
sex'.
Facing the Facts…YOUNG PEOPLE AND
THE 'MORNING AFTER PILL'
2001, 8pp Price: £2.50 for 10 copies; £11.00 for 50
copies Download as a pdf
Under the government's teenage pregnancy strategy the ‘morning-after
pill' ( MAP ) has become more readily available to teenage girls than
ever before. In many parts of the UK the MAP can be obtained from pharmacies
and sexual health clinics without a doctor's prescription, and it also
is being supplied in a growing number of schools through confidential
advice services operated by health authorities. The consent of parents
is rarely sought. This eight-page factsheet takes a look at the social,
legal and ethical issues and considers the consequences of this new experiment.
It concludes by suggesting a more positive way forward.

EXPERIMENTS IN LIVING: THE FATHERLESS
FAMILY by Rebecca O'Neill
2002 20pp Price: £1.00 Download as a pdf
A review of research findings into the effects of family
breakdown, demonstrating that the decline of the two-parent, married-couple
family has resulted in poverty, ill-health, educational failure, unhappiness,
anti-social behaviour, isolation and social exclusion for thousands of
women, men and children. It concludes that the traditional family based
on a married mother and father remains the best environment for raising
children.
