Ms Annette Honan:

It will be much more comprehensive and up to date, explicitly naming issues such as consent, pornography, sexual diversity, sexual orientations, healthy, unhealthy or abusive relations and so on. It will address all the issues that are identified in the committee's report, in other reports and by young people themselves as being important. They are all explicitly included in the updated curriculum. More important is the approach underpinning this, which is much more positively framed. As the Deputy says, the curriculum will be less biological. That is not to say there is not biological information and factual scientific information that needs to be conveyed to young people. However, we are also focusing on the fact that the information needs of young people will change. We need to equip them with the skills, and health literacy skills in particular, to be able to know where to go and how to access safe and reliable information on all aspects of their health and well-being. That is an important feature of the new specification. There is much more that could be said about it. I look forward to all members of the committee having a look at it and giving their feedback on it in the coming weeks.
