Talking about sex, sexuality and relationships: Guidance and Standards

Talking about sex, sexuality and relationships: Guidance and Standards is for those working with young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Talking about sex, sexuality and relationships aims to provide some key standards for health, social care and education staff working with young people who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions (LLTCs).

It provides information about how best to support young people, and their families, in addressing sexuality, sexuality expression, relationships and intimacy, providing signposts to useful resources and examples of the law applied to practice. It is not a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide covering every aspect of sex, intimacy and relationships but aims to highlight some of the key issues that may arise and build confidence in how to approach the issue of sexuality with young people.
