Podcasts about special religious instruction

In this episode, we speak with Fida Sanjakdar. Fida is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University specializing in the intersection of culture, religion and sexuality education. Enjoy! See Fida's Monash University Biography. For more information on Victorian Education Department policies on Special Religious Instruction in government schools  (link here).  Relationships and Sexuality Education is written into both the Australian Curriculum and Child Safe Standards. Independent and Religious schools within Victoria align to these also, however some may have their own specific policies about religious instruction and sexuality education. If you are unsure of where your school stands on this, you may like to ask. More information about Family Planning Victoria @ fpv.org.au. Contact us directly at doingit@fpv.org.au.
