Rejected

What the petition asks
I have watched the video clips in my daughter's school, it is actually introducing adult game to them. we have teenage pregnancies on the increase. NHS has given out more contraceptives than ever. We are meant to be carers safe guarding this children against harm, not destroying their lives.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Sex education is not compulsory for four to 16-year-olds, so we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
The Government would like to change sex and relationship education. It is making those changes through the Children and Social Work Bill, which is in Parliament at the moment. If that Bill becomes law, all primary schools in England will be required to teach age-appropriate relationships education, not sex education. Age-appropriate relationships and sex education will not start until secondary school.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
