Denise Welch blasts 'woke' Welsh Government for plans to introduce compulsory sex education in schools

Following the news that the Welsh Government plans to teach children as young as five sex education, ITV's Loose Women panellists have put forward their views. Denise Welch, Jane Moore, Kéllé Bryan and Katie Piper, came to the mutual agreement during the episode on Wednesday, April 27 that the decision was "tricky".

Ministers have insisted the new curriculum, which will also see themes of religion, sex and gender embedded in day-to-day teaching, was "developmentally appropriate" for children but the four women have deemed that it is important to remember that "they are children".

Kéllé stressed, "I do believe that we should introduce conversations earlier as we can stop homophobia etc. but all I'm saying is that I would like to control when and how my children find out." This belief was shared by Denise, who described how she thought that society has become too "woke".
