“The urgency of providing this education to young people just couldn’t be clearer. As the years go by, seeing violent sexual acts in pornography is having a knock-on effect on (young people’s) behaviour, and yet we know from the research evidence, that relationship and sex education will reduce sexual violence.” Lucy Emmerson, Director, Sex Education Forum, 2023

My name is Ben Oliver, a Relationships and Sex Educator with over ten years’ experience, and the founder of Worth Educating. I live in Blyth, Northumberland with my wife of fifteen years, and two young daughters.
Worth Educating exists because our children’s relationships, safety and wellbeing are worth spending time and investing in. They are the future.

Secondary schools
Primary schools (Key Stage 2)
Sixth forms
SEND settings
Alternative provision
Youth organisations
Teacher training, across the North East and beyond.
