The Women and Equalities Committee hold an evidence session to examine the teaching of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) in schools, following the Government’s recent announcement that it is reviewing the RSHE curriculum.
Since September 2020, relationships and health education has been compulsory in all schools and sex education compulsory for all pupils in secondary education. In March 2023, the Government announced it would bring forward a review of RSHE statutory guidance.
MPs hear views from campaign groups, academics specialising in sexual health and health equality, and organisations specialising in education and sex education, on the current approach to RSHE and how the review should be carried out.
