Safe Schools review goes to govt

The independent review of the controversial Safe Schools anti-bullying program will be handed to the government.

The review, due on Friday, was launched in February after a group of coalition MPs raised their concerns with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull during a partyroom meeting.

The MPs described it as having a Marxist and social engineering agenda and said it should be stripped of its $8 million government funding.

This program, directed at primary school children, deals with same-sex issues.

Labor frontbencher Penny Wong said it was designed to address the high rates of self-harm and attempted suicide among gay and lesbian youth.

"This is not an ideological debate, this is about making sure our children are safe," she said.

Mr Turnbull asked Education Minister Simon Birmingham to report back to him on the operation of the program.
