As three senior teachers each with 10+ years experience in numerous schools across London, we have realised that sex education doesn’t always cut it. Combined with our own personal experience, we’ve noticed that while times may have changed, most of the issues around sex and relationships remain the same. Young people continue to battle with understanding periods, body image, confidence and identity struggles.
At Candid, we feel well equipped to deal with all of these issues and want to empower other educators to do the same. We think that relationships and sex education should be delivered by people who feel confident in the subject.
