Talking about sexual health, relationships and rights with looked-after children and young people
This one-day course is aimed at anyone who works with and/or cares for children and young people in care. It is an opportunity to reflect on practical ways of working with children and young people to address their rights, relationship needs and sexual health questions.
Young people who are looked after are more vulnerable to unplanned pregnancy, poorer sexual health outcomes and exploitative and/or abusive relationships than their non-looked after peers.
