Helping to educate young people about sexSEX education, young people, schools and consent are issues that have been covered a lot in the media, and the public sphere, over the last few weeks. But let’s not forget about youth work and youth organisations in all this talk about young people and sex education. I’m calling for increased funding for youth services to assist youth workers to work with young people around topics including sex education. The work of youth organisations like Youth Work Ireland and other non-formal educators should be acknowledged and not forgotten about.
