Welsh sex ed  fight goes on

Royal Courts of Justice

A legal challenge by Welsh parents concerning planned mandatory relationships and sex education (RSE) that includes LGBT+ teaching and gender ideology has failed – but an appeal is now underway.

Plans for compulsory RSE in Wales also removes parents’ legal rights to withdraw their children from explicit sex education classes – despite significant parental opposition.

The Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021 prescribes mandatory elements in education which includes RSE.
