Thank you, Llywydd. I am very pleased to move the relationships and sexuality education code for consideration by the Senedd.

We need to help our children and young people to go from strength to strength in all aspects of life, so that they grow to be adults who are healthy and confident individuals. Relationships and sexuality education has a positive and protective role to play in education. Schools and other settings have an important role to deliver in terms of creating a safe and empowering environment that supports the rights of learners to enjoy healthy and safe relationships throughout their lives.

We also know that children and young people who have strong relationships and positive views of themselves and who can understand and control their emotions and well-being are better placed to achieve their full potential in the future. Relationships and sexuality education will place these principles at the core of learning. We want our young people to prosper so that they can respond positively to a world that is changing and to be ready for the life that's facing them.
