<p>All schools are required to share information about the curriculum with parents
and the Department also expects schools to consult with parents when developing or
reviewing their relationships and sex education (RSE) policy. The relationships, sex
and health education (RSHE) statutory guidance is clear that when consulting parents,
schools should provide examples of the resources that they plan to use.</p><p>The
Department does not expect schools to share all of the learning materials they use
with parents routinely, but where parents request to see specific materials used to
teach their children, schools are expected to respond positively.</p><p>The Department
believes the majority of schools use high quality, appropriate resources and engage
with parents openly and transparently on what they plan to use. The Department has
been made aware of situations where this is not the case and as such, we will write
to all schools to clarify how materials can be shared which, will enable them to engage
with parents constructively going forward.</p><p> </p>
