Rejected petition: Keep the under 9s sex ed ban
Rejected on
Government are set to scrap statutory guidelines for sex education for children under 9 years of age. This will mean a return to teaching children as young as 4 years old about sex education instead of leaving them to be children.
We do not need sex education for children under 9 years of age and I want to prevent the Government from scrapping the current statutory guidelines banning sex education for children under 9 years of age.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There is no statutory ban on sex education for children under 9, and the government is not mandating such education for very young children.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
