In 2017, the Government made major changes to the teaching of Sex and Relationship Education. By September 2020, Primary Schools and Secondary Schools will have to comply with these changes.
The idea of revamping the teaching of SRE, according to Government was to ensure that ‘’All schools will teach children about good physical and mental health, how to stay safe on and offline, and the importance of healthy relationship’’
Some have welcomed these changes, and in fact called for SRE to be updated to address issues like grooming online and STD, while others have expressed major concerns.
Criticisms, include the fact that subjects will be compulsory and certain lessons may undermine the values of what is considered positive family life and healthy relationships taught at home, culture and religion.
Critics also point to restrictions placed on a parent’s right to withdraw their child fundamentally undermines their parental responsibility as being the primary educators of their child.
So, what changes will be made to the teaching of Sex and Relationship Education in Schools? What topics will your child be taught? Does the school have to consult and agree with you as a parent and carer, before they teach the subjects? Do you have a right to withdraw your child? And what are the consequences if you do without the school’s consent?

Community Legal Education is about informing British Citizens about their Legal Rights and Responsibilities.
Our explainer videos make law easy to understand by providing generic legal advice.
We believe that citizens should have access to and be fully informed of their rights.
Sadly, due to a lack of clarity, ambiguity and the complexity of the law, many people believe they are unfairly penalised as they are not aware of their legal rights in certain scenarios.
Community Legal Education is ran voluntarily by a team of solicitors to help provide clarity in the law using modern videos. You can help Community Legal Education become an invaluable resource to the community be helping to fund our videos.
Our desire is to create the largest video repository of legal rights information on the internet by covering a wide range of topics from road & traffic law to criminal and terrorism laws. But for this we need your support to help fund our videos which cost a lot of time and money to produce.
You can help by leaving us with a donation for as much as you can. Every penny counts!
