--- title: "Safeguarding Assembly" url: "https://st-cecilias.co.uk/news/2023-02-06-safeguarding-assembly" school: "St Cecilia's RC High School" --- # Safeguarding Assembly ![Image of Safeguarding Assembly](https://files.schudio.com/st-cecilia-rc-high/images/news/IMG_0328.JPG) 6 February 2023 Last week, our Designated Safeguard Lead, Mr Hewitt, delivered an assembly to all of Year 7 and Year 8 about the concept of healthy sexual development as well as looking at unhealthy behaviours which could be sexual harassment/violence. The definition of consent and how to discuss or report concerns with a trusted adult in school was covered and emphasised as a supportive platform for pupils to go to. Our pupils are now are more likely to see or come across sexual images and videos at a younger age than their parents would have done. This is due to the way the online world has evolved and material can be accessed through films, music videos or on the world wide web. It’s natural for teenagers to show interest in sex and relationships for example, or for children to be curious about the changes that happen during puberty. Many sexual behaviours children and teenagers show as they grow up are normal and healthy, so long as they’re not causing harm to others or to the children themselves.
