Video of young people's views of sex and health







This short video is made by Barnardos, it is a mash up of videos submitted by young people about the issue of sex and health.

Review of Channel 4's Sex in Class

The show is about a Belgian sexologist Goedele Liekens  testing out her approach to relationship and sex education for 15-16 year olds at a Lancashire school. You can read some great overall reviews from Jules Hillier at Brook  and  Sam Wollaston at the Guardian   of the show. In this blog I am trying to focus specifically on my my perspective as a relationship and sex educator on Goedele's content and approach.  Goedele Liekens with her charges in Sex in Class.

I am going to share the process I went through creating " See I...
