Hello! I'm a relationship and sex education teacher, and I'm helping contributing to some guidance for people working in care settings, around how to make sure they're providing support to the residents around sex and sexuality.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what kind of questions you'd want/ be comfortable with support workers to ask you, to help them provide additional support around sex, intimacy and relationships? It could be anything - from dating to LGBTQI+ matters to body confidence or masturbation aids.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Thanks @Richard_Scope!
SHADA looks great!
And the PDFs sound really useful - for some reason I'm unable to download them though. Is there any chance that there's a link to a webpage I could download from?
Thanks again! -
I will email you the links
