The Department for Education (DfE) has said that schools can postpone the teaching of relationships and sex education (RSE) until the Summer term in 2021 because of coronavirus
Originally, from September 2020, relationships education was to become compulsory in English state primary schools and relationships and sex education compulsory in secondary schools
The decision to allow schools to delay starting RSE has been taken to give them more time to prepare to deliver the curriculum and engage with parents
However, schools that feel ready to deliver the new curriculum are being encouraged to start lessons from 1 September, or through a phased approach during the academic year
The DFE also says that schools should consider prioritising lessons on mental health and wellbeing, as pupils return to schools following periods at home
