Family planning and parental support

17th June is set to reveal that parents would prefer their son or daughter to have greater access to contraceptives from a pharmacist , rather than having to make an appointment with a GP.

As a parent the topic of how to approach sex education can be a mine field. Whose responsibility is it? Is it yours, your child’s school or do you actually find yourself hoping an older sibling will sit them down to discuss the birds and the bees?

Do you worry about unplanned pregnancies when it comes to your daughter? Are you concerned that sex education is inadequate at school, but struggle to strike a balance between arming your children with the information they need? Do you feel unconformable talking about contraceptive options? Should pharmacists be able to supply directly more contraceptive options as an alternative to making an appointment with a GP?

Log in and join our panel debate where we will have a range of views on the best way to tackle sex education with your children.

Simon Heffer, Konnie Huq, Dr Rob Hicks, Natika Halil (Chief Executive, Family Planning Association) and Richard Thomas (editor Pharmacy Magazine) join us live online Wednesday 17th June at 10.00.
