Christian MP: parents need more power over sex ed.

Miriam Cates

Parents across schools in England could have the legal right to access copies of relationship and sex education (RSE) lessons.

That’s if proposals under a new Private Members’ Bill make the statute books. Under the Relationships and Sex Education (Transparency) Bill, schools would also be banned from using external teaching PRSE resources before they have been published.

The Bill was presented in Parliament by Miriam Cates, an evangelical Christian MP in late June. She said: ‘Examples of children being exposed to extreme and graphic sex education materials come to light on an almost daily basis. Despairing parents complain to schools and get nowhere…. Parents are a child’s best defence against sexual exploitation, and when parents are -as now - powerless to protect their children, then the Government must intervene.’
