Gonorrhoea does not always have symptoms, but they can include pain, unusual discharge, inflammation of the genitals and infertility.

How many people will choose to be immunised is uncertain.

But projections by Imperial College London show that if the jab proves popular then it could prevent 100,000 cases and save the NHS nearly £8m over the next decade.

Max, a sexual health campaigner, told BBC Newsbeat he would "100%" take the vaccine after being diagnosed with gonorrhoea twice within a year.

"I think this is great that it's been announced", he says, adding: "It's going to take the pressure off the clinics, it's just a big win all round."

Vaccination will start in August and will be offered through sexual health services.

Public Health Scotland said it was also working on plans to launch its own programme for high-risk individuals.

BBC Newsbeat has asked health bodies in Wales and Northern Ireland whether they intend to do the same.

There will be no exemptions on the age limit for children who have consent from their parents. The government says that the onus will be on social media platforms to show they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access.

Albanese said there would be no penalties for users, and that it would be up to Australia's online regulator - the eSafety Commissioner - to enforce the laws.

The legislation would come into force 12 months after it passes and be subject to a review after it's in place.

While most experts agree that social media platforms can harm the mental health of adolescents, many are split over the efficacy of trying to outlaw them all together.

Some experts argue that bans only delay young people's exposure to apps such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, instead of teaching them how to navigate complex online spaces.

Previous attemptsat restricting access, including by the European Union, have largely failed or faced backlash from tech firms. And questions remain over how implementation would work given there are tools which can circumvent age-verification requirements.

One of Australia's largest advocacy groups for child rights has criticised the proposed ban as "too blunt an instrument".

In an open letter sent to the government in October, signed by over 100 academics and 20 civil society organisations, the Australian Child Rights Taskforce called on Albanese to instead look at imposing "safety standards" on social media platforms.

The group also pointed to UN advice that "national policies" designed to regulate online spaces "should be aimed at providing children with the opportunity to benefit from engaging with the digital environment and ensuring their safe access to it".

But othergrassroots campaignershave lobbied Australia's government for the laws, saying bans are needed to protect children from harmful content, misinformation, bullying and other social pressures.

A petition by the 36Months initiative, which has over 125,000 signatures, argues children are "not yet ready to navigate online social networks safely" until at least 16, and that currently "excessive social media use is rewiring young brains within a critical window of psychological development, causing an epidemic of mental illness".

When asked whether there should be broader efforts to educate children about how to navigate the benefits and risks of being online, Albanese said that such an approach would be insufficient because it "assumes an equal power relationship".

"I don't know about you, but I get things popping up on my system that I don't want to see. Let alone a vulnerable 14-year-old," he told reporters on Thursday.

"These tech companies are incredibly powerful. These apps have algorithms that drive people towards certain behaviour."

Are you worried about someone you know?

If you're concerned that a family member or friend might have an eating disorder, it can be difficult to raise the issue with them. You may worry you'll say the wrong thing, that it's none of your business, or that you'll offend the person. Remember eating disorders are serious mental illnesses and are not the person's fault.

Often people with eating disorders deny or don't realise there's a problem, but that doesn't mean they're not ill. Eating disorders thrive on secrecy, and countless people who are in recovery agree that breaking the silence is the right thing to do, even if they didn't feel that way at the time. The sooner someone can get treatment, the greater their chance of a full and sustained recovery.

Here are some things you can do when talking to someone you're worried about:

Think about what you want to say and make sure you feel informed. You can read about the symptoms of eating disorders or take a look at our booklet: "Eating disorders: a guide for friends and family".

Choose a place where you both feel safe and won't be disturbed. If you're one of several people who have felt concerned, don't talk to the person together as they may feel you're ambushing them. Decide who they are most likely to open up to.

Choose a time when neither of you feels angry or upset. Avoid any time just before or after meals.

Have some information with you that you can refer to if you're able to. You could share it with them, or leave it with them to look at by themselves.

Try not to centre the conversation around food and/or weight. While it may be necessary to bring this up to explain why you're worried, these may be things they're particularly sensitive about. At their roots, eating disorders are about what the person is feeling rather than how they're treating food.

Mention things that have concerned you, but try to avoid listing too many things as they may feel like they have been "watched".

Try not to back them into a corner or use language that could feel accusatory. "I wondered if you'd like to talk about how you're feeling" is a gentler approach than "You need to get help", for example.

They may be angry and defensive. Try to avoid getting angry in response, and don't be disheartened or put off. Reassure them that you'll be there when they're ready, and that your concern is their wellbeing.

Don't wait too long before approaching them again. It might feel even harder than the first conversation, especially if they didn't react well, but if you're still worried, keeping quiet about it won't help. Remember, eating disorders thrive on secrecy.

If they acknowledge that they need help, encourage them to seek it as quickly as possible. Offer to go with them to the GP if they would find that helpful.

If they tell you there's nothing wrong, even if they seem convincing, keep an eye on them and keep in mind that they may be ill even if they don't realise it. Denial that there's a problem is common - in the case of anorexia, it's considered a symptom of the illness. You were worried for a reason, so trust your judgement.

If you need some support, visit our support services page for details on how to get in touch.

Below are some specific situations that you might encounter or be worried about during conversations with someone who has an eating disorder, and guidance about how to respond in a positive and encouraging way.

Bullying is any persistent behaviour that is intended to hurt someone. It can happen anywhere - including at school, at work, online or at home. Examples of bullying include name-calling, making threats, being violent or aggressive, spreading rumours and undermining, humiliating, excluding or pressuring someone.

While lots of young people experience bullying, it is an incredibly difficult thing to go through and can have a huge effect on your child's mental health and wellbeing. As a parent, it can also feel very challenging and worrying.

The important thing to remember is that it is possible for your child to get through it and feel okay again, and that there are practical steps you can take to address the bullying and its consequences.

While everyone is different, a young person who is being bullied may:

seem low or anxious

seem less confident in themselves

show signs of distress such as feeling upset, teary or panicky

avoid school or refuse to go altogether

often complain of feeling physically unwell

have outbursts of unexplained anger at home

seem withdrawn, isolated and wary of others

have few friendships

make changes in their behaviour, for example dressing very differently or suddenly doing new activities to meet peer pressure

act in a bullying way towards others

have unexplained physical injuries such as bruises or scratches

do less well at school

eat and/or sleep more or less than usual

use things like self-harm or drugs and alcohol to cope with difficult feelings

Underneath these behaviours, a child who is being bullied may be frightened or anxious, lonely, isolated, worthless, on-edge or desperate about the situation they're facing.

Tips for starting a conversation with your child

Read through the school's anti-bullying policy. This should set out how they need to respond and support your child. It is usually on the school's website, but if not, ask a member of staff to send it to you.

If your child is being bullied by peers from school but it's happening outside of school hours or online, remember that head teachers of state schools have the legal power to make sure their pupils behave outside of school premises - and that the school should still be involved.

Organise a meeting with your child's teacher or form tutor as soon as possible. Agree together on the strategies you will use to support your child and make sure the bullying stops. It's helpful to use your evidence log during the meeting if you have one. Take notes and then follow up afterwards by email to summarise what you've agreed, and to arrange another meeting for a few weeks' time to discuss progress and any next steps. Having an email trail of your communication with the school can be really helpful for making sure the school takes action.

If your child feels worried about you speaking to the school, reassure them that their teacher is there to support them and will want to make sure that the bullying stops.

If your child is worried about going to school or doesn't want to go to school at all because of the bullying, validate their feelings - for example by saying it's understandable that they feel this way. Even though the situation may feel stressful, don't shout, tell them off or physically force them to go to school - as this is likely to increase their anxiety. You can find out more about supporting your child in this situation in our guide to school anxiety and refusal.

If you are unhappy with the way a member of staff is responding to your concerns, escalate them to a more senior person - such as a more senior teacher, a deputy head, or the head teacher. If this doesn't work, you can contact the school governors (their contact details should be on the school's website), and lastly the Local Education Authority or the Academy Trust. If you're finding it difficult to get the school to engage with your concerns, it might help to talk the situation through with friends, family or other parents - so you can think together about what you want to say to the school.

A young person who is experiencing, or has experienced, bullying may struggle with anxiety, low mood or depression, or difficult feelings associated with trauma.

If you're worried about your child's mental health, there are different places where you can find help. Your GP, your child's school and considering whether counselling or therapy might help are good places to start.

You can find out more about speaking to GPs, finding a counsellor or therapist, accessing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), getting help from your child's school and finding local services on our guide to getting help.

School support with bullying

Wherever your child is experiencing bullying, it's helpful to be open with their school about what's going on and what support they need. Depending on their age, it may be important to make sure your child feels some control over the information that's shared about them - for example by discussing with them who they would feel comfortable for you to speak to.

The initial focus needs to be on making sure the bullying stops, and the school must adhere to its anti-bullying policy. In terms of other support, alongside counselling schools can often provide support such as drop-in chat sessions, mentoring, peer buddying and clubs and activities. Your child's school may also be able to refer them to local services that support young people with bullying.

Sex can mean lots of different things. People who mention 'having sex' are often talking about having sexual intercourse, but not always.

Having sex isn't the only way people are intimate or sexual with each other. There are lots of things that someone might find intimate, like hugging, kissing or watching something sexual with someone else.

It's always important to talk about what you and someone else is comfortable with before deciding whether to keep going. Nobody has the right to pressure you or make you feel like you have to do something.

5 facts about consent:

Consent is more than just saying yes or no

Wanting to do something once doesn't mean you have to in the future

Consent applies to anything sexual, not just sexual intercourse

Being in a relationship doesn't mean you have to do what your partner wants

You can change your mind about what's happening any time

Understanding whether your partner consents can be confusing sometimes. But we've got advice to help:

Use their body language

Look at how your partner is behaving, ask yourself if they're smiling, enjoying themselves, nodding or looking at you. If someone doesn't look interested, is stressed, upset or is pulling away, then stop.

Talk about it

Ask questions, check how your partner is feelings and talk about what's happening. Remember that even if someone says yes, they've got the right to change their mind.

Accept how someone feels

If someone says no, isn't interested or doesn't feel ready, stop and accept how they feel. Asking over and over or making someone feel bad for not consenting means that you're pressuring them, which can be a form of abuse.

Think about their state of mind

Are they awake and sober? Someone who's drunk, passed out or asleep cannot give consent.

If you're not sure, stop

It's your responsibility to know if your partner is consenting, not theirs. If someone continues to do anything sexual without consent, that can be considered to be rape or sexual assault.

It's illegal to have sex or do sexual things with without full consent from everyone involved.

It can be a crime to engage in sexual activity with someone if:

they're not able to give or accept consent because they're drunk or they've taken drugs

you're not sure whether someone is consenting

they're worried about being hurt if they don't say yes

you're in a position of trust or power over the other person.

The age of consent is 16. This means that it's illegal to have sex with anyone who's under 16 years old. This is the same no matter what your sexuality or gender is.

It's important to remember that the law is there to protect children and young people, not punish them. If you're both aged 13-15 and you've consented to doing things, it's still against the law. But it's less likely that legal action would be taken.

It's never legal for someone to have any sexual contact with you if you're under 13. If that's happened, then we're here to support you.

When someone over 16 is having sex with someone under 16, they're also breaking the law. They may be arrested even if everyone has consented.

If someone does something sexual with you and you've not agreed to it freely, then that's sexual assault or rape.

Nobody has the right to do something sexual with another person without their consent. And it's their responsibility to make sure know if you're consenting. It's not your responsibility to say no, and what's happened isn't your fault.

However you're feeling, it can help to talk about it. And you can talk to Childline about anything.

Communication is an important part of a healthy relationship, that includes being able to talk about sex or anything you'd like to do together.

You could talk about:

whether you feel ready

things that would make each other more comfortable

contraception

if you did something, where and how you'd feel comfortable.

Sex can be embarrassing to talk about sometimes. If you're not feeling comfortable talking about it, then it might be a sign that you're not ready.

It's never okay to make someone feel bad for not wanting to do something. But if everyone is feeling ready, then talking about things can help you to feel more confident.

Contraception helps stop pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Whether it's your first time or you're in a relationship, you should use contraception. There are lots of places to get contraception, including supermarkets, pharmacies and your doctor.

You can change your mind about having sex at any time. And that's okay.

You might feel pressure to keep going, especially if you've agreed before. But it's always okay to stop if something doesn't feel right or you change your mind.

It can be difficult to relax when you're worried about how you look or if you've experienced gender dysphoria.

It can help to:

talk to your partner about how you're feeling

take time each day to write down 3 things you like about yourself

think about ways you might feel more comfortable if you were intimate with someone else.

Building confidence can take time, but we've got advice to help.

There's no right or wrong way to have sex. And being intimate or sexually active isn't just about having sex.

Sex shouldn't be painful, even if it's the first time. If it is, then it's important to communicate with each other about what you feel comfortable with - it's different for everyone.
Get more support from Brook on having sex for the first time.

Part of being in a healthy relationship is being able to say what you think without being scared or worried.

It can be tough when your friends talk about sexting or say they're sending nudes. But it can help to remember:

even if someone says they're sending nudes, they might not be

once you send a nude, you lose control of it and it can be shared online or with other people

a good friend should never make you do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Will I get in trouble?
You can get in trouble if you threaten to share a nude, even if you don't actually do it.

Only the police can decide if they're going to charge you with an offence after sexting. But it's important to remember that the law is there to protect you, not get you into trouble.
