The Education Secretary, Damian Hinds, has called on social media influencers and online celebrities to promote healthy body image stereotypes to the young people who follow them. The Government has already announced that from 2020, the it is introducing compulsory health education in every state funded school, alongside compulsory relationships education for all primary pupils and relationships and sex education for all secondary pupils in England. This will mean that every child will learn about internet safety and harms, including the unrealistic expectation of body image, alongside the importance of mental and physical wellbeing.
