Jo Robertson: therapist and parenting educator on the Government making consent education compulsory

There's some disappointment from a sexual education expert over new Government curriculum changes.

Education Minister Erica Stanford has released her draft Year 1-to-10 curriculum for six months feedback from schools and educators. 

A key change is making consent education compulsory in health and physical education. 

But therapist and parenting educator Jo Robertson says the guidelines don't mention the word 'consent' until Year 3. 

"We need kids to know that if somebody touches their body that that's sexual harm and that's not okay. So for me, it doesn't quite meet the mark."
