'Learning Together' is a new resource produced by NHS Health Scotland which comprehensively reviews a range of publications and resources that can provide support to parents and carers. The review covers materials suitable for 3-18 years including 4 domain areas: development and societal concerns, sexual safety, experiencing sex and solitary sexual activity, with many subsequent areas where communication and learning can take place, such as: ethnicity and culture, peer influences and LGBT issues.

The resource is also targeted at professionals working across local authorities, health and the third sector to provide appropriate and relevant information to parents and carers.
