The Safety Card Scheme is about allowing you access to good quality information about sexual health and free condoms.

Here's how it works:

• register
• get training
• get the card

Once you have a Safety Card, you can show it to workers when asking for free condoms. This tells them that you've had training and information.

You don't have to be sexually active to register for a Safety Card. Safety Card training can help you prepare for safer sex, when you're ready.
