Sexuality and relationships

Sexuality is how you feel about yourself and your body.

It is about finding out and knowing what feels right for you.

We have an easy read about sexuality.

Relationships are the different ways you are connected to other people.

For example:

• friends
• family
• boyfriends or girlfriends or partners.

People sometimes find it difficult to talk about sexuality and relationships.

But people with a learning disability have the same rights as anyone else to find out about their sexuality.

And they have the right to have friendships and sexual relationships if they want to. 

If you have a learning disability, or you know someone who does, we can help you find the right advice and support about sexuality and relationships. 

Our sexuality and relationships page has links to videos and easy read information.

You can also contact the Learning Disability helpline for more information and support:
