Harmful Sexual Behaviour

Harmful sexual behaviour is a term used when referring to sexual harassment and violence including: rape, assault by penetration and sexual assault. Sexual harassment is ‘unwanted conduct of a sexual nature’ that can occur online and offline. It is likely to violate a child’s dignity, and/or makes them feel intimidated, degraded or humiliated and/or creates a hostile, offensive or sexualised environment.

Any incidents of harmful sexual behaviour are taken extremely seriously and may be reported by pupils, staff or members of the public. Appropriate actions may be taken with external agencies, police and parents/ guardians and are completed in a timely manner. Further actions may be taken against the offender in conjunction with the academy’s behaviour policy.
