This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Early years settings and primary schools in England are not required to teach sex education, so it is not clear what action you want the UK Government to take.

Nurseries and other early years settings in England are required to follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, which does not include any requirement regarding sex education. You can read the framework here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/596629/EYFS_STATUTORY_FRAMEWORK_2017.pdf

Further, while primary schools in England are required to teach relationships education, sex education is optional and parents have the right to withdraw their children from sex education lessons if their school offers them.
