The My Body poster is for girls and women to learn more about the private parts of their body.

It has information about

• Private parts on the outside of your body

• Reproductive organs inside your body.

Reproductive organs are parts of the body that make a baby.

This poster has drawings of a body without clothes on.

Some people might feel uncomfortable looking at them.

You can get the poster at the link.

Position statements are papers that say what CID thinks about different issues.

Each position statement has an Easy Read version.

This position statement is about restrictive practices.

Restrictive practices are when things are done to stop someone moving around freely.

They may be used when someone might

• hurt themselves

• hurt someone else.

Too many people with intellectual disability have restrictive practices done to them.

CID thinks people with intellectual disability need to be part of the decision to use restrictive practices.

You can read the position statement here.
