SCES would disagree with the petitioner and note that there are educational resources, there is no breach of the UNCRC and there is no evidence of stigma relating to abortion – noting in particular that schools work tirelessly to protect the confidentiality and privacy of pupils and to combat prejudice, stigma, intolerance and bullying relating to all aspects of pupils’ lives. Our initial response is therefore to question the competence of this petition, in terms of detail and necessity.
