C-Scheme Registration Training

About C-Scheme:

C-Scheme is a coordinated, multiagency, quality-driven FREE Condom Distribution network aimed to increase access to free condoms in the community. In Derbyshire and Derby City this service is available to anyone aged 13-24.

What is a C-Scheme Card?

Young people aged 13–24 can register for a C-Scheme Card by completing a quick form with a trained professional. After basic questions and safeguarding checks, they receive a card, an initial supply of condoms and lube, plus sexual health information. The card then gives them easy access to free condoms from registered C-Scheme locations.
