The internet can be a very unfriendly place.

Everyone should understand the risks of online scams and grooming.

We've gathered three guides to staying safe online. Each explains the issue in simple terms, with clear pictures to aid understanding.

Staying Safe Online

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities produced this guide to staying safe online. It features advice on dealing with online abuse, as well as lots of advice on privacy and safe social media use.
Read this guide here.
I Have Made a New Friend Online

Stop It Now produced this guide to adult grooming. Most of the people you meet online will be perfectly nice people. But this guide points out the warning signs that might indicate that someone isn't who they say they are.
Read this guide here.
Live Streaming Guide

Ineque produced this guide to staying safe while using live streaming features on Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms.

Please note: While this guide is clear, it seems to be written for a general audience, rather than specifically for people with learning disabilities.

Safety Cards

Safety Centre have a series of one-page guides to staying safe on some of the most popular online platforms.
Find them here.

Using Love Life resources

The films

There are three films featuring Ash, her friend Jim and her sister Steph.

You can watch the films independently or as a series, although it's most helpful to work through them in the order we've suggested.

Each film is designed to open up different ways of talking about different topics.

Delivering Love Life

The films and resources are designed to be used as part of your ongoing discussions about growing up, relationships and emotions.

The young people you work with may have a range of needs, so the films and activities are flexible and adaptable.

Watch the films in advance and decide how best to introduce them. Choose the activities you think are most suitable and adapt them as necessary. For example, some young people may need help writing or drawing.

We haven't included timings for the activities - these will vary depending on the size of group and needs of the young people you're working with. You could devote a full day to doing all the activities and include two viewings of the films, or carry out individual activities over a number of weeks with repeat viewings of the films.

Some of the activities require you to have specific materials available. These are listed on the activity plan.

It's also helpful to have books on related topics available, which young people can look at in their own time.
> Look at our reading list of resources that can help you deliver Love Life
Upsetting content

While we've taken care to present the issues in Love Life in a non-threatening way, there may be some topics that are upsetting for the children and young people you work with.

Make sure you know how to spot any signs that may indicate a child is at risk of or experiencing abuse and respond appropriately.
> Find out more about recognising and responding to abuse
If a child or young person needs to talk to anyone confidentially, they can contact Childline for free on 0800 1111 or online. You can also download or order Childline posters and wallet cards.

Personal and sexual relationships can bring happiness, fulfilment, companionship, love and a greater sense of freedom to the lives of people with a learning disability.

Our vision is a future where the sexual identity, and personal and sexual relationships of people with a learning disability, are recognised, accepted and respected. We want individuals to be empowered to have positive, healthy, informed and safe relationships.

Current situation

Many people with a learning disability say that relationships are important to them. But only 3% of people with a learning disability live as a couple, compared to 70% of the general adult population.

Challenges

Many people with a learning disability would like to pursue intimate or sexual relationships, but they face multiple barriers to developing such relationships, including the following:

Meeting people is more difficult and social isolation is common.

People are not receiving adequate relationships and sex education to give them the skills and knowledge to have healthy and fulfilling friendships and relationships, and to understand and explore their own sexuality.

There is often a lack of privacy which restricts opportunities to explore and understand sexuality.

RSHP.Scot: Learners with Additional Support Needs (ASN)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The RSHP resource has been developed with an understanding that the starting point for RSHP education for learners with additional needs/disabilities is that they should be learning the same RSHP curriculum at the same time as their peers. While the main body of the RSHP resource offers learning activities to meet the diverse needs of learners in early learning, school, college and community settings we acknowledge that on occasion learners with additional support needs/disabilities will benefit from additional or enhanced content. This is what is provided in this section of the resource. Material is organised under these headings:

1. LEARNERS AGED 14+/16+

The content in the thematic units offered here is intended for educators, parents and carers providing Relationship, Sexual Health and Parenthood education for learners aged 14+/16+ with additional support needs.
Click here to view this section

2. PROGRAMMES + RESOURCES TO SUPPORT LEARNING

The programmes listed here have a range of audiences.
Click here to view this section

3. SOCIAL STORIES

Social stories are simple descriptions of social situations. They are used to teach social skills and are written from the perspective of the child/young person.
Click here to view this section

4. PUBLICATIONS

The publications listed provide opportunities to focus on a specific topic or theme. They have been written to support learners with a range of additional support needs. They may usefully add to the educator's implementation of the main body of material in this RSHP resource.
Click here to view this section

Some learners with additional support needs or learning disabilities will benefit from images which are more explicit than those used in the main body of material in the RSHP resource. This is because some learners do not comprehend the meaning of an image if it is nuanced or in any way ambiguous.

Did you know - Disabled people have sex & they like it?

Yep. Shocking though it may seem, disabled people are just like, well, everyone, really. Sex is important. We all want to be loved, we all crave a bit of intimacy from time to time and like it or not, we are sexual beings. Take sex out of the equation and we will quickly start to feel insecure and unattractive. How we judge ourselves is inextricably linked to how we think others perceive us. This is a problem because (and this isn't much of a secret) disability isn't seen as sexy.
