Last Autumn the Government announced that lessons about personal, social and health matters including sex and relationships will be compulsory in all England's schools from ages five to 16. As Muslim parents, teachers and school governors, the subject of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) has always been an uncomfortable one.
On the one hand we are aware of the falling moral standards and the other hand the lack of response from the Muslim community leading to our children developing dual personalities.
The UK has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Western Europe, a recent UNICEF report placed Britain at the bottom of the league of 21 developed countries forchildren’s well-being. Amid this chaotic picture there are growing calls to teach Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) at an even earlier age.
This workshop will provide Parents & School Governors with an overview of the opportunities and challenges that exist with current SRE provision in state schools as well spelling out the impact the government's proposals to make SRE compulsory will have.
This workshop will cover:
- A deeper understanding of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE)
- What guidelines have the Government set for teaching SRE?
- What does the repeal of Section 28 mean for schools?
- What is the Role of the Governing Body i.e. School Governors?
- What is the role of the Local Community, Parents and Mosques?
- Do parents have the right to Opt-Out?
- Towards devising a SRE policy suitable to your school
- Watch a sample video of SRE shown in schools
- Practical advice
Please come to this seminar to learn, share and develop a strategy to go forward. You do not need to be a parent or a governor to attend!
Inshallah a local Mufti/Imam will be present and an experienced local state schoolteacher of SRE for advice.
