Professional dispositions in regard to sexual transactions of youth: Balancing (over)protection and support for sexual socialisation

Based on data collected in a research on sexual transactions of youth, this article discusses the attitudes and professional dispositions of health and social workers in regard to these practices. It sheds light on the different scope given to sexual education, understood as any form of intervention related to sexuality. Having to balance professional commitments of protecting and supporting youth, very few social workers feel legitimate to address concerns of sexual education in their engagements with youth. However, young people need such engagements. It is therefore important to offer to social workers appropriate training in order to better integrate sex education into social work with youth.
