To ask the Minister of Education what guidance is provided to schools on identifying, preventing, and responding to incidents of upskirting among pupils.

My department provides guidance for educational settings on all child protection and safeguarding matters.

In 2022, the Department of Justice introduced new legislation which established new offences, including up-skirting. My department’s guidance was reviewed to include information on these new offences and also how schools can identify harmful sexual behaviour, alongside providing advice on dealing with these issues as they emerge.
