A recent survey by Ofcom found that children are spending more time online, are more likely to go online alone and are using a wider range of devices to access the internet.
Effective sex education is essential if this generation of young people are to make responsible and well-informed decisions about the lives they go on to lead.
Current sex and relationship education guidelines, were last updated in 2000 – some 13 years ago – and contain no reference to the internet; mobile technology or online bullying. Since then there has been an explosion in the number of children accessing hardcore images online, and the emergence of cyberbullying as a major threat faced by youngsters.
If teenagers are surfing the web alone in their bedrooms then there is a risk they could be exposed to online pornography – this is the generation for whom social networking sites, webcams and photo-sharing are all a normal part of growing up.
A third of schools currently have inadequate sex and relationship education according to Ofsted; Learning about these issues will equip young people to be more in control and the chances are they will be less likely to look for answers about sex and relationships elsewhere.
