Some girls experienced groping in school corridors but the majority of serious offences took place outside of school. Ms Spielman said: “It’s alarming that many children and young people, particularly girls, feel they have to accept sexual harassment as part of growing up. Many teachers said they do not feel prepared to teach topics such as consent, healthy relationships and sharing of sexual images. The watchdog said schools should teach about consent and sharing explicit images, and urged the Government to strengthen online safeguarding.
