Stop Sexual Bullying In Schools

Tackling the rising tide of inappropriate sexual behaviour in schools.

The most recent government figures show that in 2006-07 there were 3,500 fixed period exclusions and 140 expulsions from schools in England for sexual misconduct - anything from explicit graffiti to serious sexual assault, even rape. Two hundred and eighty of those expulsions were from primary schools and in 20 cases the child responsible was just five years old. (DCSF

Teachers in a number of schools are growing more and more concerned after seeing their pupils interact in a "sexualised" manner with each other. It can be just touching each other or hugging and kissing in the school corridors. At times this sexual behaviour can be intimidating like blocking a students path or even grouping another student. This behaviour creates a climate of fear and anxiety in schools which in turn can lead to pupil absenteeism and disaffection.
