School sex education and education policy in England and Wales: the relationship examined

J. Green

School of Health and Community Care, Leeds Metropolitan University Calverley Street, Leeds LS1 3HE, UK

This paper begins by establishing the importance of school sex education, and then outlines the educational policy and context which shapes its provision in England and Wales. It concludes that the devolution of responsibility to individual schools for this potentially sensitive area of the curriculum has created a climate of uncertainty and that a consensus on what should constitute an educational entitlement would allow schools to tackle sex education with greater confidence.
