Local courses
The Speakeasy programme is an accredited course, which gives parents and carers practical advice and training on how to chat openly about sex and relationships with children. The course offers a flexible and relaxed way to gain greater confidence in an area that can cause embarrassment and awkwardness for parents and carers. The course is an eight week course, with accreditation if parents wish, or the different elements can be offered as individual sessions to look at any specific issues raised during the on-going support of parents and carers.
