Sexual Abuse In Schools

BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Sexual Abuse In Schools

New figures reveal thousands of sexual attacks in schools - many carried out by children.

Thousands of allegations of sexual crimes in schools have been made to police in the UK in the last three years. With many attacks carried out by children, how are schools coping?

Five Live Investigates reveals the thousands of sexual crimes occurring in schools in the UK. Many are carried out by fellow pupils in so called 'peer on peer abuse' incidents. But are schools dealing with the issue as well as parents would wish? Concerns over criminalising young people mean some schools are reluctant to take action. How are schools, local authorities and young people themselves dealing with the problem?
