South Wales Central MS and Former Welsh Conservative Senedd Leader Andrew RT Davies has condemned Bridgend Council for sex education material produced by the Authority that appeared to endorse strangulation.
One slide in a PowerPoint presentation warned “it is never okay to start choking someone without asking them first,” a statement Mr Davies said was “utterly abhorrent”.
He called on Senedd ministers to intervene and take all necessary action to safeguard pupils’ welfare.
Mr Davies said:
“This material is not just inappropriate, it is utterly abhorrent, and Bridgend Council have serious questions to answer as to how it came to be produced.
“Since devolution, Labour Senedd ministers have been responsible for standards in Welsh schools, and have developed a culture within our education system in which material of this kind was deemed appropriate.
“Urgent action is required to ensure pupils’ welfare is safeguarded.”
