According to advice jointly published in the early part of 2014 by Brook, the Sex Education Forum and the PSHE Association, over four-fifths of parents want schools to provide lessons addressing issues surrounding pornography.
What isn’t known is whether the majority of parents want teachers to subject their children to the kind of classes advocated by the sex education lobby as the proposed content is more explicit than one might assume.
One key message in the proposals is that ‘pornography is hugely diverse, and not all of it is necessarily bad’ and that pupils need help ‘interpreting’ it.
