A NEW poster campaign has been launched encouraging young people in Hanwell and West Ealing to talk more openly about sex, relationships and contraception.

The 'Let's Talk About It' campaign, run by Ealing Council, will run during the first two weeks of February.

The initiative aims to reduce teenage pregnancies and change attitudes towards relationships and safer sex.

Research shows that young people are particularly susceptible to taking risks at two times in the year - Valentines Day and around Christmas.

And there are spikes in annual teenage pregnancy rates that can be traced back to these times of the year.

For more help and advice on safer sex visit the websites www.ruthinking.co.uk or www.level-8.org or call 07958 658223.

We'd like to hear from you.
