Consent and pleasure are two of the most vital, and daunting, sex and relationships topics to talk with your kids about. Here’s how to start

Mental-health campaigner George Hodgson, 25, of conversation-starting T-shirt label Maison de Choup, discusses parents, kids and opening up

If you’ve never had open conversations, it’s embarrassing. But break that cycle so that when your child is an adult they’ll want to talk

Child-centred educational approaches see young people reverse-mentoring teachers and educating peers. So let your students do the talking

Create a safe space via ground rule and use hypotheticals to depersonalise charged topics. Humour and fun are the best diffusing mechanisms

Being open humanises you, it's not lecture-y, it normalises insecurities and it makes it easier for your child to be vulnerable with you

We have the unique experience of being the first generation to teach RSHE that has grown up with technology platforms and online pressures

The men and boys I’ve watched the film with cringe because we inherently know what’s right or wrong even if we're conditioned to forget it

What does your child understand sexting to be? Maybe your daughter hasn't heard of dick pics; maybe your son isn't involved in image sharing

If you frame the subject of sex in talking about love and good, healthy, exciting relationships, you will give your child a great foundation

How do kids age 12 to 16 feel their screen use is affecting them – and do they think parents can help them if they need it?

Can teen avatars – voiced by actors in real time – help train sex ed teachers? Sit in on a few minutes of classroom simulations to find out

Anime gave me the confidence and understanding that sex and bodies are nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. I wish I’d known that growing up

It’s rare that teenagers talk with trusted adults, although they do see this as a way to reduce the negative impact of porn

Children are impacted by not seeing characters like them represented in popular culture. So it’s important to have more diversity onscreen
