What do schools teach about sexual health & relationships

All schools are expected to provide education about sex and relationships. The putting jigsaw together in classroomScottish Government provides guidance to help schools present sex and relationship education in a sensitive and non-biased way. The school should also consult with parents/carers about their programmes.  You can find out about what your child's school is doing by:

  • Requesting to see a copy of the sex and relationship education policy and/or a copy of the programme for your child's class. This will allow you to support what the school is doing at home.
  • Asking to see the resources used in the classroom. You may be able to borrow books or DVDs to use with your child at home.
