No. They should sort out the sex ed given to teens before doing anything else.

Typical pushy Liberal, let children be children.
It did start at 7 in our house. My daughter asked me what sex was, so I told her about Mummies and Daddies loving each other and 'making babies'. Most kids do ask this question in early Primary - why should they not know?
If children are given sex education at 7, their sexual curiosity may start from there which can be worrying. On the other hand, if they are educated on the human anatomy from an early age, should they - God forbid - receive sexual abuse, the child will know what is being done to them and they can tell an adult immediately.
I agree, I mean if they ask their parent or somebody why not, but other than that they should just have fun and not have to worry about all that yet
The media headlines will say 'sex' education just to sensationalise the context and people then associate the adult version of graphic sex/porn/explicit media as if that will be the education given to children. This is absolutely not what is intended or will happen or taught in schools.
Children are naturally curious and they look up to adults and teachers for answers. Fail to answer the questions or engage with them and they will discuss amongst themselves. The damage is then done by other kids who may already have incorrect information or have started to form bigoted views from other adults or watching TV etc. without the ability to contextualise appropriately.
So the sex education is not about sex as the media portrays it, but about personal safety, tolerant and inclusive attitudes towards others and stopping misinformation spread through playground curiosity and gossip.
This is about preserving childhood whilst taking responsibility for children's protection and safety and not curtailing their natural curiosity but making sure they get correct and factual answers appropriate for their age and in ways they can understand.

I disagree, childhood should be a happy time and you have plenty of time to worry about this stuff later.
What if you are a 7 year old child and you are being abused? How do you know if it is wrong if you do not know what is normal?

Tbh, theres not much a child could do if in any situation. Thats what makes it so sick.
Maybe if they knew they could inform someone, but its a fine line.

Do you agree?
I can neither agree or disagree as I don't know enough about this policy.
What sort of topics do the Liberal Democrats want covered at the age of 7? ''Sex education'' doesn't mean anything to me if you're not going to specify what exactly will be taught.
So far the Liberal Democrats haven't even specified what they want, so I will remain neutral on this until they have done so. I'm amazed that many people seem to have the capacity to accept/reject this policy even though so little is known about it.

People should stop being so afraid of sex. Children knowing about it isn't going to bring society to its knees, and could arguably have a positive effect on overall sexual health, no? If sexual safety is inundated in children in the same way as road safety.

Why bother with school at all, they have plenty of time to worry about all that stuff later.

Really?
You don't need to know the policy to discuss whether sex education should begin at 7.

I don't understand. Why not?
The puberty side should begin at around 7/8 as some kids do start changing early! Sex however, can wait until secondary school

The policy is not what is being discussed so why would it be relevant? What is being discussed is Nick Clegg's apparent view on sex education.
It never ceases to amaze me that we now need teachers to tell children how to make babies..... or do we?
So-called sex education doesn't help at all.
