Sexwise is a free confidential advice line on sex, relationships and contraception for young people aged 18 or under.

It's open from 7.00am to midnight every day (7 days a week).

The phones are answered by professional advisers who are experienced in working with young people - they are friendly and helpful and will not ask who you are - you don't have to give your name and address.

Although the phone line is a national organisation they have access to information about local services and can tell you where to go for help and advice if that's what you want to do.

The helpline is run by an independent charity and it was set up to give young people the chance to talk in confidence about relationships, sex and contraception.
