Education unions, politicians and campaigners have given strong backing to a PSHE Bill that has been brought before Parliament by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas.
Meanwhile, a second Bill focused on SRE is proposing that the subject be included on the national curriculum and has sparked a strongly worded debate in Parliament.
The second reading of the PSHE (Statutory Requirement) Bill was due to take place late last month, but has been postponed until February after MPs ran out of time on the day scheduled for the debate.
The Bill, if passed into legislation, would require the education secretary to ensure that PSHE becomes a statutory requirement for all state-funded schools.
