It strengthens learning around consent, online harms, safeguarding, and LGBT inclusion.
We’ve produced a clear and factual explainer outlining what it means in practice for schools.

The publication of this data shatters Scottish Government claims that RO in non-denominational schools is ‘objective, critical and pluralistic.’ They've never bothered to test this claim. Now we have, and we've proved them totally wrong.

Like most of us the rich tend to build their worldview around their own interests. (Welfare = taxes on me so bad).
But their interests diverge more from the majority than the norm. And they have fewer people around them willing to point out when they're wrong.

But we should be equally outraged at the way the Monarchy bankrolled and protected him - including paying £12 million to settle a sexual assault case.
