What it's about

The purpose of this module is to develop your knowledge, understanding and facilitation skills in Sex and Relationship Work when working with people with learning disabilities.

The majority of work will focus on issues associated with sexual health and people with learning disabilities and how to practically run sessions in this subject area, either with groups, or one to one.

What you do

This course is essentially experiential in nature. Participants will receive some theoretical background that will be put into practice. This background will be provided in a course manual which will be given to you on the first day of training. You will use this manual throughout the contact hours of training. There are sections of it you will fill in throughout the training and sections you will take away for your use in your own study hours.
The major learning will come from participants applying their work in a real setting and reflecting on its outcome. You will also receive feedback from experienced tutors and their peers.
