Education unions, politicians and campaigners have given strong backing to a PSHE Bill that has been brought before Parliament by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas.
The second reading of the PSHE (Statutory Requirement) Bill was due to take place late last month, but has been postponed until February after MPs ran out of time on the day scheduled for the debate.
The Bill, if passed into legislation, would require the education secretary to ensure that PSHE becomes a statutory requirement for all state-funded schools.
It also includes provision that sex and relationships education (SRE) and “education on ending violence against women and girls” be included within schools’ PSHE programmes.
