Teaching about Marriage is now part of the National Curriculum as a required element of a school's 'Sex and Relationship Education Policy'. Presenting marriage in a positive manner, whilst being sensitive to the needs of children who may never have experienced a happy or stable home life, let alone a happy marriage, will be a real challenge. Here we can help you locate organisations and resources working in this field.
