Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:32 pm on 21 September 2022.
Thank you, Llywydd, and thank you, Minister. I'd like to focus on relationships and sexuality education, but from a completely different angle. I'd like to welcome the written statement that you published over the summer regarding misleading allegations with regard to relationships and sexuality education, and it's a cause of regret that the opposition spokesperson has walked out without us having this discussion now.
I know that you have asked the group spreading these misleading allegations to cease sharing this misinformation, and I agree with what you said about this group's aggressive tactics. It frightens me, particularly having seen what happened in Gwynedd, targeted at the member of the cabinet, Beca Brown. Despite this, as you will know, this group is continuing its campaign, with a series of meetings arranged across Wales over the coming weeks.
I know that steps have already been taken by the Government, but what other steps will the Government be taking to ensure the safety of councillors, local authority staff and teachers, as this element of the new curriculum is rolled out?
