The publication, produced by charity Sheffield Futures, is aimed at youth workers, parents and carers. It covers issues such as providing condoms to young people with learning disabilities and how to deal with homosexual relationships.
The 40-page guide contains case studies presenting a range of scenarios and the appropriate courses of action to take.
The guide, Young Disabled People: Sexuality & Personal Relationships Policy and Practice Guidelines, was developed by youth workers who were frequently confronted by relationship issues during their work.
The guidelines aim to help those working with young people to ensure they do not restrict choices for young people, but also guard against allegations of negligence or even abuse.
