A conference on promoting sex education has been held at Dundee University.
Sexpression is a student group with branches around the UK which campaigns for better sex education in primary and secondary schools.
The conference, at the Medical School at Ninewells, had a number of speakers including Jenny Marra MSP and Lucy-Anne Holmes, the anti-page three campaigner.
Other speakers included James Morton, from the Scottish Transgender Alliance, and Roy Kilpatrick, who has worked with HIV sufferers and addicts.
Rachel Shedden, who helped form the Dundee branch four years ago, said: “The primary aim of the organisation is to provide better sex education to primary and secondary school pupils.”
She added: “It is great to have a conference and get people with outside experience in. But we are also running workshops to help improve our skills and share our experiences.”
Members travelled far and wide to attend the event, which was also hosted along with Aberdeen and St Andrews universities.
The conference finished on Sunday with a debate on the independence referendum and health.
