Professionals working with young people, the disability community, or people from diverse cultural backgrounds sometimes find themselves unsure about how the law applies to some aspects of sexual behaviour. This means that they can be unsure about how to proceed in providing information, guidelines, or moral and practical support to their clients and colleagues concerning their legal sexual rights and responsibilities.
This forum will explore:
- key areas of law which relate to sexual behaviours and health
- some of the “grey areas” in sexual law and their impact for workers and their clients
- the positive role of the law in helping inform healthy sexual behaviours and relationships
- key questions posed to the panel and facilitators by attendees
- Knowing what the law actually says in terms of sexual behaviours (consent/sexting/assault/age of consent etc)
- Knowing how this law is implemented
- Creating a space where individual ethics and legal requirements merge.
ShineSA is holding a forum for workers to discuss these issues. Come along and learn about the legislation and put questions to our panel of experts including;
- Dr Peter Chamberlain - Senior Clinical Psychologist - Owenia House
- Trish Johnson - Criminal Lawyer - Legal Services Commission
- SAPOL representative
