Gillian Keegan tells schools to let parents see sex education materials

Education secretary's letter emphasises copyright cannot be used as excuse' to withhold RSHE teaching resources

Gillian Keegan has written to schools in England ordering them to make the materials used in children's sex education available to be seen by parents, warning headteachers there can be no ifs, no buts, no more excuses".

It is the second letter the education secretary has sent to schools on the issue, which has been seized upon by some backbench Conservative MPs amid claims that children are being exposed to inappropriate material during relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) at school.
