<p>On 14 December 2017 the Department published advice for schools on how to prevent
and respond to reports of sexual violence and sexual harassment between children:

Department wants to ensure that all pupils gain the knowledge and skills they need
to keep themselves safe and develop healthy, respectful and positive relationships
for adult life in modern Britain. The Department is actively engaging with a wide
range of stakeholders to develop the regulations and guidance on Relationships Education
and Relationships and Sex Education; and we launched two calls for evidence on 19
December, one for adults and one for young people, to seek views on the curriculum
content for these subjects. The calls for evidence close on 12 February and can be
accessed via this link: <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/life-skills/pshe-rse-call-for-evidence/"

envisage draft regulations and the guidance will be published for consultation later
this year. The regulations will then be laid in Parliament.</p>
