Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the recommendations in the report by the all-party Parliamentary group on Sexual and Reproductive Health, entitled Women’s lives, women’s rights, what steps he is taking with the Secretary of State for Education to ensure that teachers are able to access a single national source of medically accurate, up-to-date and evidence-based information on contraception.
The Department for Education has provided a range of resources to support effective teaching of the new statutory relationships and sex education curriculum, including a teacher training module on Intimate and Sexual Relationships, which includes information on contraception. This module signposts teachers to the National Health Service guide to contraception, which provides medically accurate, up-to-date and evidence-based information.
