Proposals for sex education review 'based on flimsy evidence'

The Department for Education (DfE) has set out proposals to introduce age ratings designed to prevent teachers in England covering some subject matter with younger children, after the prime minister ordered the education secretary, Gillian Keegan, to bring forward a planned review.

Rishi Sunak was responding to pressure from the Tory MP Miriam Cates, who claimed in the Commons that children were being given “graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your partner safely and 72 genders”. Yesterday Keegan said she was “deeply concerned about reports of inappropriate lessons being taught in schools” and the DfE confirmed Cates’ address in the Commons on 8 March was the grounds for its proposals on Relationships, Sex, Health and Education (RSHE) guidance.
