ABSTRACT
On 28 October 2008, Jim Knight, the Minister for Schools in England, announced that Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education, including Sex and Relationships Education (SRE),1 would become a statutory part of the curriculum at all key stages in all state-maintained schools from 2010. This news was greeted with immense enthusiasm from many quarters, including members of the Sex Education Forum2 and the Independent Advisory Group of the Government’s Teenage Pregnancy Unit.3
