Programme Synopsis

  Teaching children about the birds and the bees is often challenging. But it can be tougher
  still for parents whose young people have learning difficulties. Katy Gosset from One in Five meets sexual health educator Annette Milligan who is helping those families to navigate puberty and all it brings.
• The end of last weeks discussion with Julia Drury from Family Planning about talking to all young people about sex and relationships, and the resources available to support parents and schools to do that.
