Sex education in schools in England to be reviewed by expert panel

Teaching unions and charities argue first review of statutory guidance since 2020 is politically motivated

An expert panel will be set up to review sex education in England’s schools, with updated guidance due in September to ensure that no “disturbing or inappropriate content” will make its way to students.

This review will take place over the concerns of teaching unions and more than 50 organisations and charities, who fear the move is politically motivated.
