Sex and Relationships Education 2016-2017

SRE and the law The Education Act 2002 sets out the statutory duties which all schools, including academies, are required to meet: ‘Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which: Promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of the school and of society. Prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life The Education Act 1996, as amended by the Learning and Skills Act 2000, requires head teachers and governing bodies to have regard to national guidance on Sex and Relationships Education in schools and to protect children from unsuitable teaching and materials. Under the Children Act 2004 schools have a duty to promote the well-being of their pupils and good quality SRE contributes to this duty.

March 2017- The government laid an amendment to the Children and Social Work Bill on 1 March 2017 which they intend to come into effect from September 2019. In this the Secretary of State for Education confirms the Government’s ambition to support all young people to stay safe and prepare for life in modern Britain by making Relationships Education … subject to the outcome of a thorough consideration of the subject, Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE - both) statutory in all schools. The latest policy statement from the DfE released 1st March 2017 states “A recent YouGov poll shows that 91% of parents believe all pupils should receive PSHE lessons to teach about the risks of sexting, as well as other issues such as contact from strangers online. A recent Barnardo’s poll of 11-15 year olds also showed that 74% believed that children would be safer if they had age appropriate classes on RSE. Many teaching unions have also called for statutory status. It is clear, therefore, that parents and schools want them to be taught. This document also goes on to explain that given the increasing concerns around child sexual abuse and exploitation and the growing risks associated with growing up in a digital world, there is a particularly compelling case to act in relation to pupil safety. That is why the amendment places a duty now on the Secretary of State to make Relationships Education and RSE statutory through regulations.

SRE and the Curriculum SRE topics should be taught through the statutory requirements for the National Curriculum Science Orders, which are mandatory for all primary and secondary age students, and through well-planned Personal, Social, Health and Economic education. Parents/carers have the right to withdraw their children from all or some of the SRE provided outside of the National Curriculum.
