Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that LGBT-inclusive relationship and sex education is provided to school children.

In September 2020, the Government made relationships education compulsory for primary school pupils, relationships and sex education compulsory for secondary school pupils, and health education compulsory for pupils in all state funded schools.

Guidance for schools is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education.

On 8 March 2023, my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, announced the review of the guidance. The Department announced further details regarding the review on 31 March 2023.
