Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans that the review of the relationships, sex and health education statutory guidance will (a) begin, (b) invite views from stakeholder organisations, (c) conclude and (d) be implemented in schools.
The Department is in the process of identifying and appointing the members of the independent expert panel, which will inform the wider review of the Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) guidance. The review started recently and will cover the full scope of the statutory RSHE guidance.
The Department will seek to gather evidence from a wide range of stakeholders over the coming months and to consult publicly on an amended draft in the autumn, to conclude by the end of the year. The amended guidance will be published soon after, in early 2024.
