Government plans that could see compulsory sex education being taught to children as young as four have been deemed “abhorrent” by a pro-life charity.
The move to overhaul sex education in schools comes after a group of 23 Conservative MPs backed a change to the law that would see Sex and Relationship Education made a compulsory part of the National Curriculum.
The government has not announced what "sex and relationships" education will mean in practice, and will not to do until a consultation has taken place. It has said that primary and secondary schools will have different requirements. Parents will be able to opt out.
