The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Education on the use of education in schools to prevent violence against women and girls.

Answered by Jess Phillips

Prevention and education are fundamental to our mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade, and that includes supporting our education system to teach children about respectful and healthy relationships and consent.

As part of the Safer Streets Mission, I regularly engage with colleagues across Government including those at the Department for Education.
