Ofsted’s inspection framework for schools sets out its safeguarding expectations. Critically, it includes keeping children of all ages safe from child sexual exploitation (CSE).
One of the ways in which a school can meet those expectations is by raising awareness of online grooming and CSE, enabling pupils to be “confident in staying safe from abuse and exploitation”. Ofsted is clear that schools have a duty to keep children safe from CSE.
I work on a theatre in education programme entitled Working For Marcus, which aims to raise young people’s awareness of grooming and sexual exploitation. The programme is based on up-to-date research helping children to develop strategies to stay safe from gangs, violence against women and girls and grooming.
