Outspoken Sex Ed is a social enterprise that focuses on getting parents talking openly with their children about sex, bodies, consent, pleasure, and relationships. The premise: parents are the missing link in their children's sex education – and their engagement helps with safeguarding, improves mental health, and strengthens the parent-child connection.

Our six topics areas are: sex and relationships, sexuality and identity, bodies and body image, pornography and sexting, consent and pleasure, and gender stereotypes.

The Outspoken website – featuring Mayday Moments, Talking Points, and bitesize, practical advice from the best sex educators around – and its topical newsletter, keep parents and teachers up to date on the latest news stories around sex and relationships issues.

Giving parents the language, skills, knowledge and confidence to talk openly at home, Outspoken was founded on the conviction that children have a right to accurate information about sex and relationships that addresses their curiosity, desire, and need to understand the bigger sex-education picture.

We want children and young people to feel free to express who they are, we want parents to enjoy learning from and talking with their children, and we want to change the sex-education conversation – and the world – so that we can talk more easily, openly and honestly about sex and relationships topics, which affect all of us our whole lives long.
