Parliament is to debate whether parents should have the right to opt their children out of sex-education lessons when they become mandatory next year.
The debate is taking place later this month after a petition on the Government website was signed by more than 100,000 people in support of opt-outs from relationship and sex education (RSE) lessons.
The petition calls on the Government to protect the 'fundamental right' of parents to withdraw their children from the RSE classes when they become mandatory across secondary schools in September 2020.
