Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has held with the Secretary of State for Education on the effectiveness of the draft national curriculum relationships and sex education guidance in preventing violence against women and girls.

Ministers and officials have regularly held discussions on the effectiveness of Government action across departments to prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG). A key mechanism for this is the Inter-Ministerial Group on Violence Against Women and Girls, which is chaired by the Home Secretary and has members from across government, including the Minister for Women and Equalities and the Secretary of State for Education.
