Sex education in schools is at risk of being ?watered down? if proposed changes to England?s science curriculum go ahead, experts have warned.
Sex education should be ?unambiguously? included in science lessons a coalition of organisations has urged.
?The science proposals omit any reference to genitalia, puberty or sexual health?, says the group in a letter to the Times newspaper.
A government spokeswoman said the claims were ?misleading?.
?The draft science curriculum includes as much sex education as the current curriculum,? said the spokeswoman for the Department for Education.
?Children will continue to be taught about their bodies, physical development and reproduction.?
?Adult squeamishness?
The letter is signed by more than 100 organisations and individuals ranging from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to Mumsnet, the Sex Education Forum and the National Children?s Bureau.
It says the planned changes will not help schools create an honest and open culture around sex and relationships, and urges the government ?to put any adult squeamishness about sex aside?.
