Sex Ed petition

Action: please sign up!

From CFNews: orman Wells of Family & Youth Concern emails : I am writing to encourage you to sign a petition on the Number 10 website calling for a full public consultation on whether sex and relationship education should be made a statutory requirement for children from the beginning of primary school - http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Parentchoice

The government has gone back on a clear commitment in the summer to conduct a full public consultation before making any substantive changes to the present arrangements concerning sex and relationship education. Instead, it has chosen to exclude parents from the entire review process. We need to send a strong message to the government that this is unacceptable and that it must honour its earlier commitment. It is likely that the petition will be referred to in a parliamentary debate tomorrow afternoon, so the more signatures we can obtain before then, the better. For more background information, please see our press release from 23 October at http://www.famyouth.org.uk
