Promoting good sexual health and relationships

Miguel Tudela de la Fuente FPA learning disabilities project manager

Miguel Tudela de la Fuente discusses an education programme on sex and sexuality for individuals with learning disabilities, their parents or carers, and the professionals who work with them

The Family Planning Association (FPA) is a national charity that promotes good sexual health. This article describes a programme the FPA has devised to help people with learning disabilities better understand the nature of relationships and consent. The programme also deals with the concerns of parents, carers and professionals about how these issues are discussed.
