Parents have right to see sex education content, says minister
By Christina McSorleyBBC News
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan Will Tell English schools This Week parents have a right to view the Sex Education material which is being taught.
Parents can take home material if they are unable to attend a presentation in school or access a parent portal.
It Comes as the government is due to launch into The Relationship , Sex and Health Education (RSHE) curriculum.
The subject has been compulsory in schools since September 2020.
In primary schools, pupils must be taught " key building blocks of healthy, respectful relationships" as part of The National curriculum.
Pupils at secondary schools " should be taught the facts and The Law about sex, sexuality, sexual health and gender identity in an age-appropriate and inclusive way" according to official guidelines.
Schools are allowed to invite external agencies to teach classes on these subjects, if safeguarding rules are followed. But guidance states external groups " should enhance and not replace" teaching by school staff.
Tanya Carter, of the Safe Schools Alliance, said the directive is " too little too late".
Calling for a public inquiry into how RSHE has been taught in schools, Ms Carter says The Letter is " yet another letter which activist teachers will Feel Free to ignore".
Geoff Barton, of The Association of School and College Leaders, says clarification over copyright law is helpful and agrees that transparency on RSHE materials is key; pointing out schools generally share that information on request.
Mr Barton also says sending The Letter while many schools are on their half-term break " is slightly odd".
" Unfortunately, there has been no prior discussion ahead of this letter. If the government had spoken to the sector in advance of this statement, we might have been able to resolve the practical difficulties it raises. "
Lucy Emmerson, chief executive of the Sex Education forum, said they have championed " meaningful engagement between schools and parents" and say parents are largely supportive of RSHE lessons.
" Regular communication between school and home helps parents anticipate what is being covered. When schools and parents work together, the benefits of RSHE are greatest. "
She added: " We want everyone involved in The Delivery of RSHE, to have confidence in these lessons. "
