The Sex Education Forum (SEF) will target the programme at those children “most likely to suffer sexual exploitation” after being given funding from Comic Relief.
Call Lessons in Love, the initiative will develop sex and relationships education (SRE) involving expert practitioners and drawing on the experiences of young people.
