Mandatory relationship education for 16 to 19-year-olds

Early day motion 1517, tabled 19 June 2025 by Sarah Gibson (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes with concern that Relationship and Sex Education is not currently mandatory in post-16 education settings; further notes that young people aged 16 to 19 are among the most at risk of experiencing relationship abuse; recognises the campaign Make It Mandatory, which calls for the extension of statutory Relationship and Sex Education to cover all 16 to 19-year-olds; and acknowledges the importance of ensuring that all young people receive education on healthy relationships, coercive control, and consent to support their safety and wellbeing.
