Pupils: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make it her policy to extend the teaching of sun safety to secondary schools.
Answered by Georgia Gould
As part of the revised relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) statutory guidance, published on 15 July, schools must now teach facts about safe and unsafe exposure to the sun, and how to reduce the risk of sun damage, including skin cancer. In secondary school, the curriculum builds on this, and in addition covers the importance of pupils taking responsibility for their own health.
