Abstract

Many young people don’t have access to quality and inclusive relationships and sex education (RSE) at school, especially marginalised groups: LGBTQ+ young people, young people of colour, young people with disabilities, and those struggling with mental health issues. Instead, young people are turning online in increasing numbers to find answers to their questions on RSE topics, and the content available is often inappropriate, unhealthy, or unsafe. That’s where Fumble comes in.
