What if some parents or carers complain about what they see as “pro-homosexual” content in the curriculum?
Parents and carers – like staff and students – have a right to hold any beliefs they choose about homosexuality and bisexuality. However, the school has a legal obligation to make sure that no student is harassed or discriminated against, and an educational responsibility to ensure that students are informed about sexual diversity. If a parent or carer believes that homosexuality or bisexuality is being ‘promoted’ in the school, they should be able to make a complaint and have it reviewed by the school or learning service.
