Sexual health charity FPA has won the Disability category at the Charity Awards 2010 for All about us, their CD-ROM on sex and relationships for people with learning disabilities.

Developed with Belfast based Aurion Learning, FPA believes that All about us is the only resource of its kind in the world. It covers topics including understanding emotions, keeping safe, what it means to become an adult and appropriate behaviour in public and private spaces in a way people with moderate to medium learning disabilities find easy to understand. As well as complementing sex and relationships education (SRE) in the home, school, and other learning environments, it can be used by someone with learning disabilities on their own.

Julie Bentley, FPA chief executive, said: “We’re over the moon. We were the only non-disability organisation in the category so winning this award is a huge achievement. This is a great accolade for everyone in FPA and especially our team in Northern Ireland who produced All about us and worked with Aurion Learning to make it the effective and engaging resource that people like so much.”

All about us won a silver award in the category of Excellence in the production of learning content: not for profit sector at the 2009 e. learning age eLearning Awards.
