Young people are navigating a complex and often harmful online world. Many are exposed to pornography at a young age, and the Children’s Commissioner (2025) warns that much of what they see is violent—shaping their expectations of sex and relationships.
Ofsted has found that sexual harassment is now normalised in schools, and our 2024 research—featured on Good Morning Britain—revealed that over a third of students witness sexual comments or jokes weekly. Worryingly, 29% of children who have seen porn say they’ve acted out something they saw.
Students are asking us to do more to protect, support and educate them through these challenges.
Dignify is here to help schools respond—providing tools to equip students to thrive in healthy relationships. In line with updated RSE guidance, we offer expert training, surveys and resources to support your whole-school approach to sex and relationships education.
“It is concerning that for some children, incidents are so commonplace that they see no point in reporting them.”
~ Ofsted, 2021

"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."
