<p>The Department for Education will be conducting a thorough engagement process on
the scope and content of relationships education and relationships and sex education,
involving a wide range of interested stakeholders. The engagement process will seek
evidence from schools and teachers; parents and pupils; experts in safeguarding and
child wellbeing; subject experts; voluntary organisations and other interested parties;
and other Government Departments and public sector bodies.</p><p>We expect schools
to ensure that all pupils, whatever their developing sexuality or gender identity,
feel that relationships and sex education is relevant to them and sensitive to their
needs. As part of our engagement programme, we will consider ways to ensure that our
guidance and regulations are inclusive of LGBT issues. We plan to work closely with
organisations such as Stonewall and the Terrence Higgins Trust, amongst others, to
ensure that all views are represented.</p><p> </p><p>We will set out more details
shortly about the engagement process and the work to consider age appropriate subject
content.</p>
