Review on how we support young people with sexual health information and healthy relationship guidance.

Nottingham City Council is reviewing how we support young people with sexual health information, access to condoms, healthy relationships guidance, and the C Card programme. They want to ensure their services are youth friendly, accessible, and shaped by real experiences of young people.

They are seeking feedback from young people aged 16–25 who live, work or study in Nottingham City. Your views will help them understand the current situation and how best to support young people’s sexual health needs in the future.

Growing up in an Online World: National Consultation

The government are holding a national consultation on measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as gaming sites and AI chatbots, restrictions on addictive design features and risky functionalities, and better support for parents and families.

This consultation looks at things not covered in the Online Safety Act 2023, such as:

setting a minimum age for children to access social media – and what age would be right
restricting risky functionalities and design features that encourage excessive use, such as infinite scrolling and autoplay
whether the digital age of consent should be raised
better support for parents, including clearer guidance and simpler parental controls

Make Work Pay: misuse of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)

The government are holding a national consultation on proposals to prevent the misuse of non-disclosure agreements in cases of workplace harassment and discrimination.

This consultation is seeking views on proposals regarding:

the conditions which need to be met for a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to still be validly entered into (‘excepted agreement’) in cases of harassment and discrimination. For example, that an NDA may be valid if requested by the worker and, prior to entering into the agreement, the worker has received independent advice on the agreement
the individuals or bodies who workers covered by an excepted agreement can speak to about the harassment and discrimination, irrespective of what their NDA says (‘permitted disclosure’). For example, a qualified lawyer and medical professional
expanding the types of individuals the legislation applies to beyond the definitions of employee and worker used in the Employment Rights Act 1996. For example, this may include some types of self-employed individuals
