In June 2021, Ofsted published its review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges. It reports that sexual harassment has been normalised in schools, and that schools should assume that every student is impacted by it.
Our latest research tells us that sexual comments and joking is still commonplace, and that many are being sent nude images or being introduced to porn at a young age. Students are asking us to do more to protect, support and educate them to navigate these complex challenges.
Ofsted recommends that secondary schools make a whole-school response to address sexual harassment, and Dignify is here to help schools achieve that remit.
“It is concerning that for some children, incidents are so commonplace that they see no point in reporting them.”

"We were delighted to welcome [the Dignify Schools Team] who led a session with our Year 10 boys on the very topical subject of pornography and the damage it can do as part of our Relationships and Sex education.
The session caught the full attention of our students as it spelt out clearly the science behind how pornography can have such a detrimental effect upon the teenage brain. It was clear through observing the session that the boys were fully engaged in what is a very sensitive topic.
As headmaster, I was delighted to see such high levels of engagement from the boys who responded to the questioning and opportunity for discussion with such maturity.
I would be very happy to recommend the session unreservedly to other schools as part of their Relationship and Sex education programme."
