The Department for Education is expected to publish new guidance on compulsory relationship and sex education tomorrow.

The statutory guidance on SRE - which will become compulsory in all schools from September 2020 - will be published tomorrow, The Sunday Times reports.

In July 2018 the DfE published draft guidance which it put out to consultation until November 2018.

The draft version suggests that tomorrow’s guidance is likely to include an expectation for teachers to teach consent, peer pressure and grooming.

Schools will also have to teach “sex, sexuality, sexual health and gender identity in an age-appropriate and inclusive way”, and secondaries “should teach young people to understand human sexuality”, the draft guidance says.

The draft guidance has come under fire from a range of groups.

A decision to let schools “determine how they address LGBT-specific content” - and not providing guidance to primaries in this area - was criticised by the Accord Coalition, which said it “risks allowing primary schools to edit LGBT people out”.

The Church of England meanwhile warned that the guidance risked ”ghettoising faith perspectives on relationships” by “wrongly suggesting that they are only relevant to pupils attending schools of a religious character”.
