“Clarification on how to deal with questions on issues like disclosure and confidentiality ... thank you for a stimulating and informative course.”
Training course participant

The law around sex can be complex and confusing. Policy statements from individual organisations often add to this confusion and leave staff very unsure of what they can and cannot do. In particular, age can be a confusing factor when we are working with young people.

This one-day course is suitable for anyone wanting to clarify what the law currently says about sexual activity and how their organisation’s policy should support them. Participants can come from any setting where this information would be useful, either working with adults or young people. It is particularly helpful for those developing sex and relationships policies.

Aim

To clarify and explore the law relating to sex, especially the Sexual Offences Act 2003, and the context in which the law applies.

Learning outcomes

• Understand the law as it applies to sex, young people and vulnerable adults.
• Understand the context in which the law applies.
• Consider implications for workplace policies and guidelines.
