Teaching about Pornography in RSE

By age 13, over half of young people have seen pornography. Yet almost half say they learnt little or nothing about it in Relationships and Sex Education.

That gap leaves young people vulnerable. Early relationships, sexual experiences and attitudes towards sex, pleasure and their own bodies can be shaped by porn.

If you’re looking for support in talking about pornography with young people, Brook can help.

We offer a range of different pornography education training options, all delivered by a Brook Specialist online or in-person.
