PARENTS have raised concerns that content “verging on pornography” is being taught to children as young as eight in North Ayrshire.
It comes after an information evening was held at a local primary school to tell parents about sexual education content which will be taught to pupils across the area.
The teaching form part of the Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) unit of education in primary schools, which schools across the country are required to teach as part of the Curriculum for Excellence developed by the Education Scotland.
Concerns over the content were raised by parents following the information session, at which slides showed parents and guardians what the education will involve.
The slides, which have been shared with Ayrshire Weekly Press, discussed topics including consent, sex and orgasms.
The consent element features in the text accompanying most of the slides.
