The biological imperative is natural.

Everything else is part of the rules a society makes and these have to be taught and learnt.

As mentioned, we will ensure the subjects are carefully designed to safeguard and support pupils and are deliverable for schools. Nevertheless, we are clear on the themes and issues they should cover, in an age-appropriate way, to achieve this. Relationships and RSE will be age-appropriate, building knowledge and life skills over time in a way that prepares pupils for issues they will soon face. They will likely focus on:

• different types of relationships, including friendships, family relationships, dealing with strangers and, at secondary school, intimate relationships;
  
• how to recognise, understand and build healthy relationships, including self-respect and respect for others, commitment, tolerance, boundaries and consent, and how to manage conflict, and also how to recognise unhealthy relationships;
• how relationships may affect health and wellbeing, including mental health;
• healthy relationships and safety online; and
• factual knowledge, at secondary school, around sex, sexual health and sexuality, set firmly within the context of relationships.
