This programme, developed by the Catholic Bishops Conference, alignsa central part of the wellbeing programme for our children with a Catholic ethos. The conflating of a religious programme with relationships and sexuality education. It is a programme that is designed to further the teachings of the Catholic Church. The failure to align the teaching of RSE in primary and secondary schools. ‘Flourish’ will result in a disconnect between a religious approach taken in the 90% of primary schools under Catholic management and the non religious approach taken by secondary schools to RSE.
