Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) for People with Learning Disabilities
Resources and Training
What do I do about a boy who masturbates in public?
How do I stop one of our girl students from stripping off?
We’ve a boy who keeps touching women on the breasts. What should I do?
How do I prepare Lizzy for her periods? She screams when she sees blood!
To help educators deal with questions such as those on the right, Hilary Dixon of Me-and-Us and Revd Jane Fraser of BodySense present resources and training to support sex education programmes for people with learning disabilities.
Resources to teach about sensitive issues and appropriate sexual behaviour and encourage young people to be aware of their developing bodies, including menstruation.
Training courses clarify the law and good practice, provide opportunities to consider sensitive issues and appropriate behaviours, consider the impact of abuse and of bereavement, and explore and review curriculum materials.

Resources include:
