A High Court judge has granted parents a judicial review of new relationship and sex education being rolled out in Wales from September. Claimants representing more than 5,000 parents and grandparents lodged papers with the High Court.
They are part of a campaign called Public Child Protection Wales which wants to remove relationship and sex education (RSE) from the mandatory part of the new curriculum for Wales being taught from next term. PCPW said it believes mandatory RSE teaching will mean "very young children will be introduced to sensitive and inappropriate topics such as gender ideology and that they will be disenfranchised by being denied their time-honoured right to remove their child from sex education".
The Welsh Government said children will only learn RSE topics that are appropriate to their age and development. At a younger age, for example, children will be taught about treating each other with kindness and empathy.
