Talking Together About Relationships & S*x Education.

Friendly, informative workshop led by Claire Lightley, a specialist in Relationships and S*x Education (RSE)

Talking Together About Relationships & S*x Education

For Parents of Children and Young People with SEND

We know that conversations about relationships, growing up, and s*xual development can feel daunting — especially when your child has additional needs. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Join DPCV for a friendly, informative workshop led by Claire Lightley, a specialist in Relationships and S*x Education (RSE). Claire previously worked with FPA (the national s*xual health charity) and now runs Bodysense Education, supporting families and professionals across the UK.

What will be covered:

Understanding puberty and body changes
Supporting your child with periods
Using clear, safe language around body parts and s*x
Self‑stimulation: what’s typical, and how to respond
Helping your child understand public and private behaviours
What to expect as your child gets older
Time for group questions plus the option to ask private questions

Online event
20th Jan 20 from 10am to 11:30am
