I agree with you entirely, Minister, and thank you for that response. It's clear that the group is targeting parents with its campaign of misinformation, and even Members of the Senedd it would appear. I note that the Government has formulated guidance to the curriculum for parents and carers, an excellent document in my view, and one that explains the changes effectively. However, from speaking to a number of parents and carers, I note that very few of them have seen this important resource.

How therefore will you ensure that every parent and carer receives a copy of these leaflets, and how will you support schools in explaining the changes, in case they too are threatened by those who are campaigning against these changes? We must ensure that every child benefits from these changes, but I'm afraid that there will be a reluctance and fear in terms of introducing this subject if this campaign continues.
