Keep the under 9s sex ed ban

Petition Details

Government are set to scrap statutory guidelines for sex education for children under 9 years of age. This will mean a return to teaching children as young as 4 years old about sex education instead of leaving them to be children.

Additional Information

We do not need sex education for children under 9 years of age and I want to prevent the Government from scrapping the current statutory guidelines banning sex education for children under 9 years of age.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There is no statutory ban on sex education for children under 9, and the government is not mandating such education for very young children.
