This updated, 366 page ring-bound resource is aimed at all adults who work with young people with learning difficulties whether in specialist or mainstream schools. It offers guidance on preparing a series of sex education and sexual relationship lessons and has been tested with young people and adults with learning difficulties and staff working in education, health and social care settings. The resource provides lesson plans, starting with ground rules and scene-setting for the learning group, and includes line-drawn illustrations that can be photocopied. It addresses human physical development and maturation, emotions, relationships and social interaction, sexual expression and sexuality, including sexual intercourse and masturbation, privacy and toilets, and sexual health and staying safe. The authors aim to provide a logical, accessible and gentle path through what they suggest can be a minefield.
