Expanded guidance to schools on teaching pupils about topics like pornography, sexually transmitted infections , periods and transgender issues has been published.The age-appropriate guidance is not mandatory for schools.The updated information is part of CCEA's expanded Relationships and Sexuality Education resources.However, what is actually taught about RSE is a matter for each school to decide based on their school ethos.
In introductory notes to the resources, CCEA said that "opinions differ on many aspects of relationships and sexuality and are often strongly held"."Teachers should also review resources before using them to check that they're appropriate for their pupils and in line with their school's ethos and RSE policy."Further guidance about how to teach pupils about domestic violence is to be published in June.
"Research shows that transgender young people become aware that their assigned birth sex is different from their gender identity between the ages of three and five," it said.

Association of frailty with influenza and hospitalization due to influenza among independent older adults: a longitudinal study of Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) - BMC GeriatricsBackground It is unknown that whether frailty is a risk factor of influenza and the hospitalization among older adults, although it has been shown that frailty was associated with poor recovery from the hospitalization among those. We examined the association of frailty with influenza and the hospitalization and the effect by sex among independent older adults. Methods We used the longitudinal data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES), performed in 2016 and 2019 and conducted in 28 municipalities in Japan. The target population comprised 77,103 persons aged ≥ 65 years who did not need assistance from the public long-term care insurance. Primary outcome measures were influenza and hospitalization due to influenza. Frailty was evaluated with the Kihon check list. We estimated the risk of influenza, the hospitalization, those risks by sex, and the interaction for frailty and sex using Poisson regression adjusting for covariates. Results Frailty was associated with both influenza and the hospitalization among the older adults compared with nonfrail individuals after adjusting for covariates (influenza, frail: risk ratio {RR}: 1.36, 95% confidence interval {95% CI}: 1.20 − 1.53, and prefrail: RR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.09 − 1.23; the hospitalization, frail: RR: 3.18, 95% CI: 1.84 − 5.57, and prefrail: RR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.44 − 3.16). Male was associated with the hospitalization, but not associated with influenza compared to female (the hospitalization: RR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.15 − 2.52 and influenza: RR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.95 − 1.08). The interaction for frailty and sex was significant neither in influenza nor in the hospitalization. Conclusion These results suggest that frailty is a risk of influenza and the hospitalization, that risks of the hospitalization are different by sex, but that the sex difference does not cause the effect heterogeneity of frailty on the susceptibility and severity among independent older adults.
