Sexual Harassment or Abuse in Education
Sexual harm is anything sexual that is abusive or makes you feel upset or uncomfortable.
When we refer to harmful sexual behaviour, we use the same definition as the DfE:
Sexual behaviours expressed by children and young people under the age of 18 years old that are developmentally inappropriate, may be harmful towards self or others, or abusive towards another child, young person or adult
The Jubilee Academy takes this seriously and we will address these concerns through our school behaviour policy. Student can expect to be supported through the school’s safeguarding protocols and we aim to ensure both the victim and the perpetrator access the correct and appropriate support, advice and guidance.
