Cabinet meeting minutes for Warwickshire showed that AAM had undergone an independent review by the Sex Education Forum.* Interestingly, the review was broadly accepting of the curriculum, but noted that some parts introduced concepts at too young an age. Many critics pointed out that AAM hadn’t been formulated by anyone with a teaching qualification. Its author, ‘sex education consultant’ Jonny Hunt, has no background in education but publishes his sex-positive curriculum through his website ‘Going Off The Rails’.
