Charities call for sex education at age four
The Family Planning Association and Brook are calling on the Government to introduce a form of sex and relationship education into the primary school curriculum to help deter young people from rushing into sex too early. This would cut the rate of sexually transmitted infections and abortions among teenagers, they argue.
Teaching children as young as four about parts of the body and relationships would help children feel able to ask questions and make informed choices about their sexual health, they said.
