A controversial charity, known for delivering explicit sex education in schools around the UK, has been forced to apologise for links to “regrettable” material on its website. Some of these links included content promoting pornography and revealed that some individuals presenting for SSE have commercial interests in the sex industry, including selling sex toys. The ICO claimed that it would compromise the sex education provider’s “intellectual property”. At the tribunal, the Chief Executive of the charity, Dolly Padalia, defended SSE’s recommendation for children to watch the Netflix series Sex Education, which is rated 18+, saying ‘children are already watching them’. But she admitted that it was ‘regrettable’ that children who visited its website could have found links to sexually explicit content about adult topics.
