Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress she has made on implementing (a) the draft RSHE curriculum and (b) the suicide prevention content in that curriculum.

The government is clear that children’s wellbeing must be at the heart of statutory guidance on teaching relationships, sex and health education and, as such, the department is looking carefully at responses to the public consultation conducted last year, considering the relevant evidence and discussing with stakeholders before setting out next steps to make sure the guidance draws from the best available evidence.
