Sticky Q's

If parents give consent for their underage child to be sexually active, is that negligent? (Part 1)

Sticky Q's Season 3 Episode 8

There are laws about the age of consent to have sex, but what do they actually mean for parents and caregivers? This episode explores what’s behind age of consent laws and how a parent can best support their teenagers to navigate their sexual development while adhering to the law.   

Adie and Tom talk about all this and more with none other than their boss, Lucy!  

Lucy is the manager of SASS’s Primary Prevention team, is legally qualified and though no longer works as a lawyer, brings a legal lens to the grey areas of sexual intimacy.
