The Relationships Alliance has called for the government to make high quality sex and relationships education (SRE) a compulsory part of a statutory PSHE or citizenship. Schools must currently have a SRE programme, but it is not a compulsory part of any subject. The alliance of four relationship support charities fears SRE quality varies widely across the country. The Department for Education has said that it does not intend to make PSHE statutory, but is soon to respond to consultation responses over its draft curriculum proposals.
