§ Mr. MacleanTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if Avon Health Authority has made a video called Beyond a Phase: A Practical Guide to Challenging Homophobia in Schools available to schools in the area. [123573]
§ Ms StuartThe video "Beyond a Phase" is available to any school that wishes to purchase it. It is for school governors and teachers, who are responsible for how sex education is taught, to decide whether or not to use material produced by health authorities in a school context. They do so within the framework of guidance (Personal, Social and Health Education) issued by the Department for Education and Employment.
