US EditionConcerns over strangulation during sex presentation plan
- Bridgend council planned a sex education presentation in 2024 including a draft slide about non-fatal strangulation that was never shown to children.
- The slide was removed after feedback from professionals due to concerns that it appeared to endorse strangulation during sex, an illegal and dangerous act.
- Michael Conroy, a former health education coordinator, expressed alarm at the slide, saying it was "terrifying" and lacked safety context, while politicians and campaigners called for clearer sex education standards.
- The draft contained a statement intended to encourage discussion, asserting that initiating choking without prior consent is unacceptable, but this led to worries that such behavior might be inadvertently normalized.
- Bridgend council and the Welsh government confirmed materials used in schools follow legal guidelines and stressed non-fatal strangulation is illegal, emphasizing ongoing review and funding for age-appropriate resources.
