The report states that the DfE did not distribute material about the campaign and did not warn schools and teachers to be prepared if children came forward to disclose abuse as a result of the campaign. It added that a DfE expert group on violence against women and girls was disbanded in early 2012 and "our experts also did not feel there was sufficient ongoing training on safeguarding for teachers and staff".

- Michael Gove, the education secretary, dropped Labour plans to introduce compulsory sex education lessons in English primary schools last year, and told an education select committee that there was a direct link between children doing well academically and their chances of indulging in "risky behaviour".

- A YouGov poll of more than 2,000 adults, commissioned by the group in conjunction with the report, found 86% of UK adults questioned believed sex and relationships education "which addresses sexual consent and respectful relationships" should be compulsory in secondary schools. A third of respondents believed their school should be doing more to prevent abuse, while 44% did not know. Of the third who thought schools should do more, 87% said teachers should be trained in spotting signs of abuse; 76% said schools should proactively tackle "sexual bullying" such as groping and sexual name-calling and 65% agreed that schools should have a clear policy prohibiting pornography in school including via phones and online.

- According to the Sex Education Forum, current government policy states that it is compulsory to teach the biological aspect of sex education but sex and relationships education (SRE) is "currently not compulsory but is contained within non-statutory PSHE [personal, social, health and economic] education within the national curriculum and is strongly recommended within government SRE guidance." Government guidelines state: "Parents have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of any sex education provided, but not from teaching the biological aspects of human growth and reproduction necessary under national curriculum science."

Dustin said: "We are confused as to why the Department for Education are saying that sex and relationships education is already compulsory when ministers have said repeatedly that they will not make it so. There is no law requiring schools to address issues such as sexual consent or healthy and respectful relationships, nor indeed to discuss the harmful messages that pornography sends."

These figures were equivalent to an estimated 4.5 million female victims of domestic abuse and 2.2 million male victims between the ages of 16 and 59 What legal remedies are there? There are both civil and criminal remedies for victims of domestic violence. Section 76 of the Serious Crime Act 2015 came into force in December 2015 and criminalises patterns of coercive or controlling behaviour where they are perpetrated against an intimate partner or family member. A number of other criminal offences can apply to cases of domestic violence - these can range from murder, rape and manslaughter through to assault and threatening behaviour. Civil measures include non-molestation orders, occupation orders and domestic violence protection orders (which can mean that suspected perpetrators have to leave their houses). The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (as amended) provides both civil and criminal remedies. These include non-harassment and restraining orders. A Library briefing paper on the 1997 Act discusses these in more detail. ]]> 2016-07-27 11:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117064258 Gov. doc 2016 sally_louise https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117064283 2016-07-27 11:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117064283 two a week! sally_louise https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117064768 2016-07-27 11:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117064768 Black dot campaign sally_louise https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117075602 2016-07-27 15:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117075602 2016 VAW sally_louise https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117076274
 Too many women are still victims of domestic and sexual violence. We must help young people to understand what a healthy relationship is and to re-think their views of controlling behaviour, violence, abuse, sexual abuse and consent. Our new campaign aims to prevent the onset of domestic violence in adults by challenging attitudes and behaviours amongst teenage boys and girls that abuse in relationships is acceptable. ]]> 2016-07-27 15:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sally_louise/u45gwtgkdeez/wish/117076274
