In Focus:

Consent Sex and Young People

Do you feel able to talk to children and young people about sex and relationships? Helping them understand that consenting to sexual activity means actively saying yes, in words and body language, enables them to make free choices. Consent can be complicated, and sometimes, it can be hard for a young person to recognise what’s ok and what’s not. To learn more, and gain extra confidence, come to this multi-agency course.

Improving Outcomes for Children we Care for and Care Leavers

Messages from practice and research highlights that children and adults who are care experienced have higher rates of physical, emotional, social, and educational need, and are more likely to experience homelessness, teenage pregnancy, prison and problems with their mental and emotional health.

They are also more likely to die younger. The majority of children who enter care have suffered significant harm, neglect and trauma, and some are children who have travelled alone from their country of origin to seek asylum in UK.
