Let Children Be Children

New guidance for Relationships Education (Primary Schools) and Sex and Relationships Education (Secondary Schools) has been passed by Parliament.

The guidance requires schools to inform and educate children about different relationships including same sex relationships. This is important to reflect reality, the society we live in and principles of equality and inclusion.

It should be remembered that some children are LGBT. They deserve equal recognition, support, understanding and visibility in schools.

Let children be children. All of them.
