The Final Taboo? Sexuality and Working With People With Learning and/or Physical Disabilities

Target Group : Any member
Duration: 1 day

This challenging, participative course is for any staff working with people with a learning and /or a physical disability. It will help participants to clarify and explore some of the complex and often sensitive issues in relation to sexuality and working with people with learning or physical difficulties. In order to understand and sensitively deal with this area of work, it is important to examine some of our own opinions, attitudes and values towards sex and sexuality.

We will also explore some of the key workplace issues around sexuality eg appropriate behaviour, respect, safety, acceptable risk taking, sexuality as part of life, not just as a problem, challenging behaviour – staff and clients and of course embarrassment – staff and clients.

Date : Wednesday 15th February 10am-4pm
Location: Belfast
