Details
Parents can ask to see the curriculum resources used to teach their children. These letters set out the existing position on sharing resources, including that schools should:
- respond positively when parents request to see teaching materials
- have consulted parents on their relationships and sex education policy, including providing examples of the resources they plan to use
- avoid working with organisations that do not allow them to share their resources with parents
If an external organisation owns the copyright on the resources, this does not prevent schools showing them to parents on the school premises.
A letter to parents about RSHE lesson material is also available.
