Closed petition Require schools to teach child sexual abuse and exploitation prevention

Closed on 21 June 2023

To provide awareness, assistance, referral, or resource information for children and families who are victims of child sexual abuse. I want the Government to make it mandatory in the UK Curriculum to teach the above within all schools.

All our lives we are taught consistently about 'Stranger Danger' and how we must not talk to anybody that we do not know or trust. But what if a person you did know and trust was abusing you? Who do you tell? what do you do? Research shows that over 90% of sexual abuse cases are done by a known person. Due to this, a high amount of children never speak up. We can teach children/Young people about positive relationships, that abuse can happen in any relationship, inappropriate touch and much more
