<p>The Department enables and strongly encourages primary schools, when teaching about
different types of family within relationships education, to include families with
same sex parents. The statutory guidance states that all pupils should receive teaching
on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) relationships during their school
years. Secondary schools will be expected to include LGBT relationships in their teaching.</p><p>
</p><p>The Department is working closely with schools on a package of support for
effective implementation of these subjects. The Department will ensure that all of
the materials supporting implementation of the new subjects are inclusive, and fully
recognise the need to disseminate the good practice in teaching about LGBT relationships
that is seen in large numbers of our schools.</p>
