AS a member of Christian People's Alliance, but sadly not a parent of a schoolchild, I would like to ask parents of moral conviction to stand up and be counted on this issue of under-16s being supplied with contraceptives on school premises with no obligation to tell parents.
Firstly, write to your child's school and ask to see the SRE policy and if you are worried let the school know as well as your MP and health authority. I would ask school nurses to search their consciences. If they have children would they want them to have such easy access to contraception?
Lastly, what a laugh this makes of the law. What happened to no sex under 16 years? This all makes me very sad.
