The Essex Sexual Health Service Outreach and Education Team are offering free training to parents and carers  to share details on some up-coming free training that we are offering to parents and carers

The role of parents and carers in the development of their children’s understanding about relationships and sexual health is vital. Children and young people themselves are also clear that they want to talk to their parents and carers about sex and relationships, but many parents and carers feel they lack the skills, confidence and knowledge to have these conversations. These sessions aim to improve that.

CEOP: The Dark Web - Thursday 29th January, 8pm to 9pm - Register here.

Talking to young people about relationships - Tuesday 10th February 2026, 8pm to 9:30pm Register here.

There is also a portal including free resources and materials for parents: Essex Sexual Health Service parents and carers portal.
