Online sex education

SIR – In the coming months, the Government will publish new guidance for schools on relationships and sex education (RSE). This is the biggest reform of how we teach RSE for 18 years, and in that time the way young people go looking for, and receive, information has changed.

Teenagers spend almost a day a week online and most will go online for information on relationships. If we are to be effective in reaching young people, information on healthy relationships needs to be delivered online as well as in the classroom.

When the Secretary of State publishes the new guidance, he should also announce an innovation fund to promote high-quality and “kitemarked” information online.
