<p>The Government wants to support all young people to be happy, healthy and safe.
That is why we are making Relationships Education compulsory in primary schools, and
Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) compulsory in all secondary schools.</p><p>High
quality teaching of these subjects will help children understand positive relationships,
how to value difference and respect for others, and the law on abuse and harassment
in an age appropriate way. The consultation on the draft regulations and guidance
closed on 7 November. The Department for Education is analysing responses and expect
to publish a response in the New Year.</p><p>The Government Equalities Office continue
to support this agenda, and has recently funded Phase 1 of the Law Commission review
of online abuse law, to ensure women are sufficiently protected from online misogyny.</p><p>Both
the Minister for Women and Equalities and the Secretary of State for Education are
committed to ensuring that both girls and boys can achieve their potential in life,
and met recently to discuss women’s economic empowerment in the education sector.</p>
