Davina McCall and Let's Talk Sex

The popular TV presenter and celebrity Davina McCall has aligned herself to the campign for compulsory sex and relationships education and the programme Let's Talk Sex was shown again on Channel 4 on 23rd March.

This wonderful programme showed the open and honest approach of teachers and parents in the Netherlands, where teenage pregnancy is not the huge problem it is in the UK, and young people seem much less hung up about sex and relationships.

Davina McCall selected three words which epitomise what sex education should be: EARLY, CONSISTENT and COMPULSORY. At the moment in the UK it is none of these things.

Even though I sort of expect it, it's still amazing to come across people who have the exact, strong opinions as I do.

Sex education in the UK is just disgusting and something needs to be done.

I've already got a campaign going and as part of this I've created a petition:

It would be great to get yours (and others) support and opinions
