A new campaign for making Sex and Relationship Education compulsory throughout the education system has been launched by the Terrence Higgins Trust.

Further information is available on their website, and we’d encourage anyone reading this to use the Terrence Higgins Trust’s online tool to email their local MP demanding they make SRE compulsory.

We got in touch with the Trust applauding them for their campaign and received the following warm reply from Keiran Aldred in their organisation:

“We really appreciate your support We agree that SRE should be effectively incorporated into PSHE for all schools which currently it is far from. Without it being integrated and compulsory schools will not be able to plan effectively, provide the resources needed for lessons and teacher training, or ensure there is enough time in the teaching calendar for it to be taught correctly.”

We could not agree more and hope that both Mr Gove and Mr. Hunt are listening. We are eternal optimists!
