’s full statement
We believe sex and relationships education is vital for young people. From September, children in the UK will be taught how to recognise what constitutes abuse or inappropriate behaviour and how to raise any worries or concerns with a trusted adult.
#RSEDay
No child should experience what Star Hobson did. We must do all we can to prevent cruelty to and abuse of children. As always, we urge anyone who has concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child to contact the local authorities, the police or the NSPCC helpline.
This year, teachers have adapted the way they teach - they've supported young people with exam changes and returning to school, and they're always looking out for the most vulnerable children.
That's why we want to say thank you this
