Parent group blasts Scot Govt’s ‘sex survey’ for kids
from The Christian Institute:
The chief executive of Scotland’s largest parent group has called on the Scottish Government to drop its controversial ‘sex survey’ for kids.
Eileen Prior of the children’s charity Connect said the survey was “inappropriate” in a letter to the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville.
Councils are being pushed to gather information through the ‘Health and Wellbeing Census’, a survey that asks teens as young as fifteen shocking sexual questions and primary children intrusive questions about their home life.
‘Unacceptable’
In her letter, Prior said: “There is no statement to say exactly who will look at data and what the research purposes are specifically”, adding that there is “no mention of how data will be stored” or “how access will be restricted or managed”.
Prior also expressed her shock at the explicit nature of some questions in the survey, stressing her concern at the “totally unacceptable” questions asking children about their personal lives.
