Lord Kilmarnock

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What criteria will be included in the revision of the Framework for Inspection of Schools by the Office for Standards in Education to evaluate the effectiveness of sex education in schools in accordance with Section 241 of the Education Act 1993.

The Minister of State, Department for Education (Baroness Blatch)

Inspections of schools under the Education (Schools) Act 1992, are required to report on the quality of education and standards achieved, and that, in curricular and other matters, schools meet legal requirements.

The detailed content of the Framework for Inspection is a matter for Professor Sutherland. I have asked Professor Sutherland to write to the noble Lord.
