Pornography: Children
Asked by: Baroness Foster of Aghadrumsee (Non-affiliated - Life peer)
Wednesday 5th November 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of education, safeguarding and therapeutic services for children and young people harmed by exposure to pornography or online sexual harm.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

This Government is doing everything in its power to prevent the horrors of child sexual abuse, including online sexual harm. We are committed to delivering effective education, safeguarding and support to children and young people through a new and refreshed RSHE curriculum in schools which now focusses more on healthy relationships and preventing young people from experiencing harm, including online. We also continue to work with the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse and other organisations to support frontline professionals with the skills they need to better identify and respond to all forms of child sexual abuse. For example, the Home Office has partnered with Crimestoppers to create and deliver a targeted resource for school professionals to help them manage harmful sexual behaviours among young children, including online behaviours. We have also provided funding to the Lucy Faithfull Foundation to support Shore, an online space for under 18s who are concerned about their own or someone else’s sexual thoughts and behaviours.
