Question
Does the Welsh Government consider three years old to be an appropriate age to teach children about sex and reproduction?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (Anna Brychan)
No. Our youngest learners are taught about friendships, families and kindness, they are not taught about sex and reproduction. The law is clear, the teaching of Relationships and Sexuality Education must be developmentally appropriate for children and young people.
