What is going on over there? Is this really necessary? Are the kids so out
of control and/or the parents so out of touch that the schools have to pay
for full time sex nurses? Who pays for this ... all the tax payers, or do the
parents in the UK pay the schools as their children go? Either way,
someone is paying for someone to discuss 'sexual identification' with your
children and give them sexual orientation guidance (point them to the
nearest gay bar if they think they are gay??).
Also - 'nurses are the best people to provide this service...'??
How about parents? Shouldn't parents know what is going on
medically with their underage children?? I understand that if
a child is at risk at home then the parents can't be involved, but
normally this isn't the case and the parents should know what
medical things are going on with their children ... children that
they are responsible for.

Every school in England will have a nurse who can arrange secret
abortions and hand out contraception, it emerged yesterday.
New guidelines will allow them to help pupils get the morning-after pill,
pregnancy tests and terminations without their parents' knowledge.
The new guidance to primary and secondary school heads says that
nurses will be able to "provide contraceptive advice to pupils and
emergency contraception and pregnancy testing to young women".
It claims that nurses are the best people to provide this service because
they are "able to assess need and prescribe appropriate medication/
provide specialist contraception advice for the future".
They can also help pupils who are concerned with "issues of sexual
identity" for example if they are gay or bisexual.
