Samah started off the meeting with good news.
RELATIONSHIP AND SEX EDUCATION CONSULTATIONConsultation is when members of an organisation gather information/feedback from members of the public or group on a project or scheme. More
Recently, the Government has come out with a guideline on how schools should teach the mandatory Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) to students. The guideline, currently in draft, sets out what schools need to be teaching their students. This is so schools can’t pick and choose what they teach students, and the students have the right information to help them in the future.
A member of the Local Children’s Safeguarding Board came into the meeting to discuss the proposal from the Government, as many youth councillors are currently in secondary education or in college. The board is also hoping to work with OYC
Oldham Youth Council More regarding RSE in the future.
