tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
uin	HL8204
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>The legal definition of terrorism, in section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000, identifies that a religious cause may be the motivation for committing or threatening terrorism. However, this is alongside political, racial or ideological causes, all equally seen as evidence of terrorism. This is in line with Government’s wider understanding of radicalisation in that there is no single pathway and the motivation of each individual may vary.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 30/09/2020 16:17:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

In order to end conversion therapy practice for good, we are thoroughly considering all legislative and non-legislative options.</p><p>My officials are reviewing the current legislative framework to see how certain harmful and abhorrent practices referred to as conversion therapy may already be captured by existing laws and offences. Where these practices are already unlawful, we will ensure that the law is clear, well-understood and enforced. Where dangerous conversion therapy practices are not already unlawful, we are examining the best ways to prevent them being conducted, without sending them underground.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 31/07/2020 13:29:04 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Berridge on 4 June (HL4788, HL4789 and HL4790), whether parents will have the right to withdraw primary school children from all sex education from September; and if so, how they may do so.
tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
uin	HL6568
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>The department is committed to supporting schools to deliver high quality teaching of Relationships Education in primary, Relationships and Sex Education in secondary, and Health Education in all state-funded schools.</p><p>In light of the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, and following engagement with the sector, the department is reassuring schools that although the subjects will still be compulsory from 1 September 2020, schools have flexibility over how they discharge their duty within the first year of compulsory teaching. For further information, I refer the noble Lord to the answer given on 10 June 2020 to Question <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2020-06-05/55660/" target="_blank">55660</a>.</p><p>The statutory guidance states that although Relationships Education for all primary-age pupils is compulsory, sex education is not compulsory in primary schools (excluding compulsory content covered in the science curriculum). It is for primary schools to determine whether they need to cover any additional content on sex education to meet the needs of their pupils.</p><p>If a primary school chooses to teach sex education, they will be required to publish a policy on this and allow parents the right to withdraw their child. If a parent wishes to withdraw their child from sex education, this request must be complied with by the headteacher. The statutory guidance, which was published in June 2019, can be accessed via the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education</a>.</p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 21/07/2020 15:26:47 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge
