Closed petition Include infertility and the effects in the national curriculum
The Government should include discussions of Infertility, including make factors such as sperm quality and mobility, and the effects of this in the national curriculum, so it is taught in schools.
More details
Infertility affects millions of people worldwide who have never learnt about fertility until their own experiences.
It makes people feel alone, isolated and different.
The reason for this is that there isn’t enough discussion and information within the current curriculum. We do not discuss how to improve fertility, what happens with infertility and the emotional and mental health effects that infertility can cause.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months

What are Westminster Hall debates?
Westminster Hall is the second Chamber of the House of Commons.
Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to raise local or national issues and receive a response from a government minister. Any MP can take part in a Westminster Hall debate.
Debates in Westminster Hall take place on ‘general debate' motions expressed in neutral terms. These motions are worded ‘That this House has considered [a specific matter]'.
