Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what training and support they will provide to teachers to help them to deliver the revised Relationships and sex education and health education guidance, published on 15 July, in a way that is evidence-based and age-appropriate.

As with all curriculum subjects, schools are responsible for ensuring the quality of the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) they provide. This includes ensuring their staff are properly trained and equipped to teach these subjects accurately and confidently.

However, the department is keen to support schools to implement the updated RSHE curriculum, which will come into effect from 01 September 2026, and plan to pilot a new RSHE training grant, starting from 2026. This will also give us the opportunity to monitor implementation going forward.
