Why is it important?

Sexuality is a fundamental part of being human and takes multiple and diverse forms. While there is evidence of RSE programme delivery specific to the needs of people with ID and their families and carers, it remains to be established if the programmes are accessible, acceptable and outcome-focused.

Perspectives

the purpose of this review was to identify the views and experiences of people with ID regarding their participation in RSE programmes and how they perceive their effectiveness. It will also highlight issues that address future policy, practice and research and provide recommendations for future RSE programme developments.
