Belfast: Violent Disorder

"My thoughts and those of the whole House are with Stephen Ogilvie, who suffered truly horrific injuries on Monday night, and with the residents of Belfast who were forced to flee by rioters who do not speak for any legitimate community grievance. The knife attack was repugnant, but so too …..."

Written Question
Relationships and Sex Education
Friday 5th June 2026

Asked by: Paul Kohler (Liberal Democrat - Wimbledon)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the delivery of education on (a) relationships, (b) consent and (c) behaviour across different key stages.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education)

We recognise that more needs to be done to support effective delivery of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) in schools. That is why the department has published updated RSHE statutory guidance for teaching from September 2026 with strengthened guidance on building healthy relationships, and emphasis on addressing misogynistic attitudes and online harms.

Alongside this, the department is investing £16 million to pilot targeted interventions in schools from the next academic year, supporting the rollout of the updated RSHE curriculum and strengthening teaching on healthy relationships and harmful behaviours to ensure teachers and schools feel fully supported.

Written Question
Relationships and Sex Education
Thursday 4th June 2026

Asked by: Paul Kohler (Liberal Democrat - Wimbledon)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has considered (a) lessons from road safety education, and (b) circumstances where (i) sustained education and (ii) meaningful consequences for offenders reduced harm, in developing its approach to education on consent and relationships.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education)

We have published updated guidance for relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) for teaching from September 2026, which includes a focus on developing skills for healthy relationships from the beginning of primary school and sets out that secondary schools should cover the role of consent, including how to recognise, respect and communicate consent and boundaries in both platonic and romantic relationships. Pupils should be made aware of the relevant legal provisions when relevant topics are being taught, including those relating to consent.

The focus for primary relationships education should be on teaching the skills and knowledge that form the building blocks of all positive relationships, supporting children from the start of their education to grow into kind, caring adults who have respect for others. Relationships and sex education in secondary schools should provide a clear progression from primary relationships education, providing young people with the information they need to develop healthy, safe and nurturing relationships of all kinds.

The department is investing £16 million to pilot targeted interventions in schools from the next academic year, supporting the rollout of the updated RSHE curriculum and strengthening teaching on healthy relationships and harmful behaviours to ensure teachers and schools feel fully supported.

It also raises concerns that the Government’s forthcoming troubles Bill will make matters worse. However, in his response to the review, the …..."
