Nicky Waring is a qualified teacher, with experience teaching in mainstream and SEN primary schools, and as PSHE lead in a SEN setting. She has worked with people with Autism and SEND from early years to adulthood, in a variety of settings over many years. She was a lead teacher at a programme for Autistic adults with SEN, devising programmes for independent living skills, for which relationship education was a fundamental part.
Nicky was certified as a sexual health educator through Options for Sexual Health in Vancouver, Canada. Recognising the lack of education available to learners with SEN, Nicky set up Ready! Relate Education, providing education for young people with SEND and training for their families and support professionals. She also worked with organisations to remove barriers to the people they were supporting, from receiving factual, evidence and rights based RSE education through reviewing their policies, providing training for staff and resources.
Nicky joins the Sex Education Forum team as a RSE Specialist and Trainer, expanding our capacity to provide high quality, specialist training with a focus on SEND.
