Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to consult parents as part of the consultation of statutory guidance on relationships education, relationships and sex education and health education.
All parents will have an opportunity to present their views as part of the public consultation on revised guidance due to be launched in the autumn of this year.
In developing revised guidance for consultation, the Department asked a range of stakeholders, including a number of groups representing parents, to share evidence about areas of the guidance they would like to see strengthened.
Parents have also been invited to contribute their views directly in roundtables with Ministers, focusing on key topics such as suicide prevention and teaching materials for relationships, sex and health education.
