answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2015 answer text <p>Education is a devolved power; as such, this reply concerns schools in England only.</p><p> </p><p>It is for schools to tailor their personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) programme to reflect the needs of their pupils. We expect teachers to understand how best to create a safe environment for PSHE, so that pupils feel able to discuss and reflect on issues that are important to them. We have provided funding to the PSHE Association to work with schools to advise them in developing their own PSHE curriculum and improve the quality of teaching. This includes signposting schools to high-quality resources.</p><p> </p><p>Department for Education guidance on promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils states that pupils must be encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance. The guidance for schools is found online at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/promoting-fundamental-british-values-through-smsc" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/promoting-fundamental-british-values-through-smsc</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 21/09/2015 09:02:31 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
