More explicit and age appropriate education on consent and reporting sexual assaults will be delivered in Queensland schools following a state government review of its respectful relationships program.
Education Minister Grace Grace ordered the review in March this year after Queensland student’s claims of sexual assault and rape were amoung thousand of anonymous testimonies published on a petition for better sex education.
Conducted by the Education Department, the review consulted 70 stakeholders including state and non government education leaders, students, principals, unions, parent bodies and sexual assault support services.
Resources for teachers set to be released at the end of 2021 for use in schools at the beginning of 2022.
