Statutory PSHE and SRE in schools on Government agenda
Government continues commitment to extend pupils' education

YWCA welcomes the Government's continued commitment to statutory PSHE and SRE in schools, confirmed today in a response to a comprehensive review into the subject.
Young women from YWCA have been telling us for a long time that their sex and relationships education was too little too late and too biological. They feel so strongly about the importance of good quality SRE they regularly take their messages out on the streets and into classrooms, urging their peers to get informed about their sexual health and personal relationships.
All young women have the right to information they need to make informed choices about their health, bodies, relationships and sex life.
