Less than a third of of LGBT+ students feel represented in their school's sex education lessons. Students are turning to other sources of information, like social media, to learn about certain RSE topics. 👇 tinyurl.com/mteffs97

The review of statutory #RSHE comes amid calls from some politicians to ‘end inappropriate sex education’. But @LucyEmmer says that ministers must use the review to put young people at the heart of RSHE and fix the gaps that persist in delivery: bit.ly/3LkL9yx

#SexEducation #RSE a 🧵 Last year Brook supported more than 100,000 young people through its education work. This week, anti-RSE lobbyists have made claims about what is happening in the classroom that we simply don’t recognise /1

Great to see MPs across the house wearing red ribbons at #PMQs ahead of #WorldAIDSDay tomorrow. Parliament has been key to demanding action on HIV and will be the difference in whether we reached zero by 2030. Thank you for standing with people living with HIV today.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay We’ve made remarkable progress in the fight against HIV – but stigma continues to hold us back and that's completely unacceptable. Everyone has a part to play in tackling stigma by telling as many people as possible the facts about HIV today.

Statutory RSE – a role for all teaching staff. #RSE is not just a list of topics to tick off, it should be relevant to children’s everyday lives & reach across the curriculum. In many ways, all teachers are teachers of RSE says @LucyEmmer bit.ly/3a5QQzE @sex_ed_forum

Much discussion of hugs in our household today. 9 year old daughter is planning ‘outside the school gate’ hug with a good friend. Boys in her class have been ‘chest bumping’ today apparently. I’ve now had a demo of that. Not very comfortable. Liking the mutual hug plan!
