A review of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) will be carried out by the end of the year, the Department for Education has announced.
The review comes following concerns raised by Conservative MPs that some pupils are being taught “age-inappropriate, extreme, sexualising and inaccurate” content in schools.
However, education unions criticised calls for a review as “politically motivated”.
The government says the review, announced today (31 March) “is needed to make sure all children are protected from inappropriate content in all cases, even if many schools already teach RSHE and engage parents in a positive way”.
