Did you know the government is rolling out teaching in schools about relationships? And that schools are supposed to be talking to parents about this? Ed talks to Dr Liz Jones from Lovewise about the government's plans and how you can have a say in whatever materials used at your child's school. You heard Liz first on Eps #13a & #13b of the Faith in Parents podcast.
