Aims & Objectives:

To help those supporting other people with their sexuality and relationships to understand where they stand legally.

You will learn how to support people with learning disabilities within our legal framework to safely and successfully have loving relationships.

It will explore the most common issues and concerns regarding the law and supporting sexuality and/or relationships including:

•         Can I support someone to search for porn online?

•         How do I know if someone has the capacity to consent to sex?

•         Can I make someone I support share their Facebook messages with me because I am worried they are meeting weird people for sex online?

•         Can I ask people to leave their door open when their partner visits?

•         Can I stop someone seeing a partner who I think is abusing them?

•         Are we allowed to talk about masturbation with people we support?

•         Can someone use a sex worker in a shared house? Will I get in trouble if I let them in?
