New Sex Ed Rules Target Harmful Acts | Sheffield News

Starting this September, UK schools will roll out new sex education guidelines for 14- and 15-year-olds, with a shocking but vital message: strangling or suffocating someone during sex is a serious crime, carrying up to five years in prison — even if consent was given. Designed to counter the toxic influence of online misogynistic cultures like the “manosphere,” the curriculum teaches students to recognize controlling behaviors, set clear boundaries, and understand that consent is never automatic. The government sees this as a proactive step to dismantle learned harmful attitudes and reduce violence against women and girls. Oak National Academy is providing teachers with tailored resources to confidently lead these sensitive conversations, ensuring young people aren’t left to navigate these issues alone — and that healthy, respectful relationships become the norm.
