Dr. Patrick Sullivan:

Community engagement is key, particularly around sensitive areas of the curriculum. If one does not have community engagement on the ground then that can really impact on take-up in schools and, indeed, mass opting out of teaching across our schools, which is a scenario that nobody wants to see.

In terms of our processes, we are very sure that at the end of this we will have an incredibly high-quality, acceptable and agreed curriculum in schools that will have meaningful and long-term change.
