Thank you for your answer, First Minister. Coercive control can happen to anyone at any age, and many teenagers may not know that they are experiencing it, owing to a lack of efficient relationships and sexuality education (RSE) in our schools. What level of engagement have you and your Department had with the Education Authority (EA) and schools on educating teenagers about coercive control?
