Enjoyed giving my workshop on Relationships, Sex & Health Ed: Ideology vs. Research at NOTA conference. The current, dangerous ideologies surrounding RSHE mean many children & young people are denied vital education that can prevent & identify child sexual abuse #nota2024

Huge thanks to NOTA for yet another phenomenal conference. I heard some thought provoking keynotes & attended some informative national & international workshops. I was lucky enough to speak to some truly amazing people. This conference gets better every year. #NOTA2024
