	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>The Department is making relationships education compulsory for all primary pupils, relationships and sex education (RSE) compulsory for all secondary pupils from September 2020. From that point, health education will also be compulsory for all pupils.</p><p>These subjects will help in ensuring all young people, at age appropriate points, know the signs of unhealthy or abusive relationships and that violence in relationships and domestic abuse is unlawful and never acceptable. Throughout these subjects there is a focus on ensuring pupils know how to get further support.</p><p>Specifically, the updated draft guidance sets out that RSE will cover the concepts of, and laws relating to, sexual consent, sexual exploitation, abuse, grooming, coercion, harassment, forced marriage, rape, domestic abuse and female genital mutilation and how these can affect current and future relationships. The updated draft guidance can be accessed via the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/relationships-and-sex-education-and-health-education" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/relationships-and-sex-education-and-health-education</a>.</p><p>Children exposed to domestic abuse are more likely to experience mental health difficulties, be excluded from school and become victims of domestic abuse in later life. That is why teaching about this in RSE is important and demonstrates how the subjects will support the measures set out in the draft Domestic Abuse Bill.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/04/2019 16:48:30 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
