Claim: The Welsh Government is ‘teaching sex education to three-year-olds‘
The claim that the Welsh Government is ‘teaching sex education to three-year-olds’ is inaccurate.
The Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) Code outlines the mandatory curriculum for schools in Wales, ensuring age-appropriate education. The RSE Code provides clear guidance so that children only learn about subjects suitable for their age and development.
For early years, the focus is on fostering healthy relationships, building self-esteem, recognising and communicating feelings, and forming friendships. These lessons do not include romantic relationships.
The curriculum supports children’s emotional and social development appropriately.
