Head of one Hertfordshire school in survey of 14- to 18-year-olds says it has led to rise in sexual abuse
A major new survey of British schoolchildren’s attitudes to pornography has found significant numbers of young people aged between 14 and 18 are watching it frequently, with some becoming addicted to sexually explicit content.
The headteacher of one school involved in the survey said the impact of violent pornography on her pupils is so severe that they have used special training to respond to a large rise in reports of sexual abuse., a charity that researches sexual abuse, spoke to 4,000 children between the ages of 14 and 18 in Hertfordshire. It found that 22% of students had viewed porn on multiple occasions. Of those, one in five said they had a porn habit and one in 10 said they felt addicted.
A headteacher of one of the schools that has worked closely with Dignify said they had seen a rise in the number of pupils reporting sexual assaults in recent years.
