Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make it her policy to include practical life lessons into the PSHE curriculum.

The Department has conducted a thorough and wide-ranging engagement process, including a call for evidence, on the scope and content of Relationships Education for primary schools, Relationships and Sex Education for secondary schools, and on the future status of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education.

The findings of the call for evidence and wider engagement process will support decision-making on PSHE and development of regulations and statutory guidance on the subjects. These will be subject to a full consultation before the regulations are laid in Parliament for debate.
