A one-day course

Children and young people consistently say that they would like to be able to talk more with their parents about these issues. Parents also would like support and information to enable them to do this with comfort and confidence.

The range of issues presented by parents can vary enormously, from responding to questions from young children, to dealing with changes at puberty, to supporting teenagers make decisions around their sexual health, identity and relationships.
This one-day course will be useful for anyone who works with parents including: Parent Group facilitators, Early Years workers, Health Visitors, Parenting workers, Teachers and Volunteers supporting parents etc.

Aim

For Parenting Practitioners to develop their skills and knowledge, and to work more confidently in supporting parents and carers to communicate with their children about sex and relationships.

Objectives

By the end of the course participants will:

• Be provided with relevant factual information including: the law, puberty and resources to support them in their work
• Have considered the sex and relationship educational needs of children and young people, and how parents can support these
• Identified strategies to support parents and carers to talk more confidently to their children about sex
• Practiced skills in responding to parents' concerns and questions relating to sex and relationship education

A variety of training methods will be used throughout the day. These will include trainer presentations, discussions, quizzes, creative activities, time for reflection and structured exercises. The main focus of the programme is for practitioners to develop the confidence and skills to pro-actively work with parents in this area. A selection of resources to support this work with parents will be available for attendees to use and review on the day.
