There's some fantastic stuff in here. I think what stands out for me is that for the young people it was an unusual and mainly really positive opportunity to discuss sex and relationships with adults who were open to really listening. Their experiences and ideas speak so loudly." - Alison Partridge Children's Rights & Participation Service Manager, Children's Fund Manager
