Govt guidance due to come into force later this year suggests that relationship education starts before sex education (years 5 and/or 6) in primary school (sex ed anyway not being compulsory at that school stage): https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6970e7e67e827090d02d42e0/Relationships_education_relationships_and_sex_education__RSE__and_health_education__for_intro_1_September_2026_.pdf

Background
I’d like the government/parliament to do this as a lot of relationships are usually always about sex as they get taught it so early but if stuff about healthy relationships are taught, hopefully we can have it changed for next generation and current generation to avoid abusive and sexual relationships so young
