Supporting and empowering conversations around sex and relationships
Many people find it difficult to talk to their children about sex and relationships. Perhaps you feel like your knowledge is patchy, overwhelmed by the amount of information online, or confused by the change in language. Adult sex education can increase your confidence, knowledge, and communication skills so that you feel supported to navigate these topics at home.

FAQs
My child/ren have relationships and sex education at school, why should we talk about this at home?
Each of the Home Nations has different guidance for what Relationships and Sex Education schools should be provided. How this is interpreted varies between schools and young people frequently report certain topics being missed, not enough lessons and wanting content to be delivered at an earlier age (Sex Education Forum, 2022). Embedding these conversations at home means you can be sure that your child/ren has access to the information they need, somewhere to ask questions or raise concerns.
When is the right age to talk to my child/ren about X/Y/Z?
Unfortunately, there is no ‘right age’ to discuss relationships and sex. I encourage you to meet your child/ren where they are at. This means being curious toward them and offering the space to explore topics that come up for them. It can be helpful to think of these conversations like maths at school, an ongoing conversation which we build on over time. This helps to embed open discussion and allows the topics to develop as your child/ren age. During Private Consultations we can consider what you child/ren individually and what might be appropriate for them.
I don’t have children but I am interested to access some more information. Can I book?
Of course! Our focus is to improve knowledge about sex and relationships and improve communication about these topics. Lots of people do not have children of their own but want to feel competent to support the children and young people in their lives.
