Sex, relationships and your rights

When it comes to sex and relationships, we all have rights. We have the right to stay safe and healthy, we have the right to have relationships and we have the right to have sex or, crucially, not to have sex, if we don't want to.

In this section you can find out more about your rights and responsiblities when it comes to relatinoships and sex. If you have more questions about anything in this section, contact Ask Brook on 0808 802 1234. Your call will be confidential. That means we won't tell anyone about it.
