Rejected petition Review current SRE. Remove damaging material prematurely sexualizing children.
A recent report showed 71% increase in child-on-child sexual assault in last four years. This year 2,625 offences – with 225 alleged rapes - occurred on school premises, including by children aged 10 and under.

More details
Children can neither assimilate nor cope with the sexual laissez-faire of current SRE. If taught about sex, minus morality, children will experiment. They don’t need to learn how to perform oral and anal sex, nor about fisting or sunflowering etc (see e.g. Warwickshire resource for kids, Respect Yourself [https://respectyourself.info/sextionary/]).
Ban the use of detailed and explicit materials in sex education. Include full health warnings for risky sexual practices and behaviours.
