Interesting article from BBC News - Sex education in schools 'inadequate', says Northern Ireland's Children's Commissioner
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…
In response to a further post on social media, Facebook this time, by @scotfamparty on the @GlasgowCabbie1 backed advertisements on sex education in Scotland... 🧵
Press release then centres on the Health and Wellbeing Census. This has nothing to do with sex education in Scotland.
Development of the online resource was overseen by a partnership of health boards and local authorities, as the resource clearly states rshp.scot/about-the-resource….
Dr Morrison does not oversee sex education resources in Scotland. This is entirely misleading. The thread on @RSHPSIG contains a link to a summary of resources. Dr Morrison was only involved in development of one of those resources.
The online resource referred to in the press release has been free for anyone to view for over 3 years.
Research from DfE on 'Experiences of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), and sexual risk taking'.
"Young people who did not receive any RSE were more likely to take sexual risks, such as unprotected sex, and
were more likely to contract an STI."

Interesting research on experiences of European parents re sex educ of their children: doi.org/10.1080/00224499.202…
In Scotland, schools are a great source of support and advice for parents and carers.
Parent Club also contains lots of useful information: parentclub.scot/search-resul…
RSHP Special Interest Group retweeted
“As soon as you hear ‘sex education’ people think it's going to be inappropriate.”
Sex-Ed classes are to be taught to kids as young as 3 across Wales.
@KlassMyleene argues that providing such information is “vitally important" for educating about respect & boundaries.
For anyone seeing advertisements in Scotland's major cities by Glasgow Cabbie about supposed "new" #sexeducation, you can find more accurate information here: nitter.gq/RSHPSIG/status/1565641…

Abstinence only sex education doesn't work.
Keeping our kids safe means teaching them about their bodies--not withholding information from them and stigmatizing sexual healthcare.

A video recirculating relating to Q&A with John Swinney on #rshp when he was Education and Skills Secretary. Video doesn't include Mr Swinney's answers to the questions posed.
You can view the video at bit.ly/351jxa1, the questions are at 1:31.21 and answers at 1:48.03
Also a reminder about our factual thread on #rshp education: nitter.gq/RSHPSIG/status/1565641…

Also, to be clear - #rshp education is separate from the Health and Wellbeing (#hwb) census. It is important not to conflate these separate parts of the education landscape. More info on the census at gov.scot/publications/health…
