This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government's Relationships and Sex Education curriculum, which is mandatory in all state schools, requires that students are now taught about the concepts of, and laws relating to, sexual consent, sexual exploitation, abuse, grooming, coercion, harassment, rape, domestic abuse, forced marriage, honour-based violence and FGM, and how these can affect current and future relationships: www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education/relationships-and-sex-education-rse-secondary

We could accept a petition calling for additional content on domestic violence to be added to the curriculum, but it would need to be clear what content you would like to be added.
