Sexual Health Series As a parent, grandparent or caregiver of young children through to teens, it is very important for you to be askable. To be askable means that young people see you as approachable and open to questions. Being askable about sexuality is something that most parents and caregivers want but that many find very difficult. Meg Hickling and Louise Walker are well known and highly respected Registered Nurses and sexual-health educators.
