Children should not be exposed to inappropriate sex education

SPUC Safe at School offers support and advice to where the sex and relationships education (SRE) in their child's school is inappropriate or unacceptable to them. We can advise parents about their legal rights and suggest ways in which parents can protect their children.

SPUC are also able to support parents looking to take the lead on educating their children on the development of the unborn child and the right to life. Ask about our educational resources.

SPUC Safe at School advises all parents to find out at the beginning of the school year when SRE will be taught, if it is taught, in their child's school. Parents should ask to see all the resources - DVDs, workbooks etc. - which will be used in the classroom, as well as finding out whether any outside speakers come into the school to talk to pupils on puberty or sexual matters. Parents can then make an informed decision about whether to exercise their legal right to withdraw their children.

Speakers from SPUC Safe at School are happy to talk to groups of parents and others who are concerned about this issue. Parents wishing to organise a meeting should contact SPUC Safe at School on 020 8407 3463
