Risk of ‘ghettoising’ faith in schools
from the Church of England website:
Nigel Genders, Chief Education Officer, discusses the Church of England’s response to the Government consultation on Relationships and Sex Education.
Today the Church of England publishes its response to the Government’s consultation on draft guidance for Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. This is the second consultation on this subject, with the Government previously calling for evidence ahead of these drafts at the end of 2017.
We were pleased to see that many of the areas identified in our original response were covered by the draft guidance which followed. Our priority remains supporting children and young people in developing positive relationships, helping them gain the resilience needed to avoid harmful relationships and equipping them to deal with the things that undermine their self-esteem and identity.
We have welcomed much of what has been proposed, such as the inclusion of health education and the need to show respect for LGBTI+ people and to teach about sexual orientation in the secondary phase.
