A Perth and Kinross councillor has spoke of his shock that he and his fellow representatives were prevented from debating a controversial survey before it was issued to local pupils.

Last year the children and young people’s commissioner for Scotland called for the Scottish Government’s health and wellbeing survey to be postponed.The survey - issued to P5 to S6 pupils - asks S4 to S6 pupils explicit questions about their sexual experience and each year group’s survey can now be seen online.Some local authorities brought the matter before councillors for debate, some chose not to issue the survey and others have chosen to remove some questions.

In Perth and Kinross the surveys have been issued in their entirety and councillors were not given an opportunity to debate the matter.

Perth and Kinross schools began issuing the survey to pupils last year and will continue to do so over the course of this school year.
