'Once you've got smartphones in schools, every child in that school is only as protected as the least protected child in that school. She told MPs yesterday: 'At Safe Schools we think smartphones absolutely should not be in schools. The comments come days after Dame Rachel de Souza (pictured), the Children's Commissioner for England, called for more robust online protections for children Tanya Carter, from campaign group Safe Schools Alliance UK, also called on schools to educate parents about 'the sheer volume of pornography online'. The campaigner suggested schools hold sessions for parents on the 'dangers' of porn, adding that some are 'probably in denial that their children aren't looking at this'. She told the Women and Equalities Committee: 'I think that schools are not addressing the fact that the harm that this does to children in being able to form healthy relationships when they're adults.' We're seeing huge damage being done with children watching porn.' When asked whether the current Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) curriculum does enough to help tackle misogyny and violence against women and girls, Ms Marsh said: 'Not at all. Its research found that that acts of sexual violence commonly found in pornography were referenced in half of police interview transcripts of child-on-child sex abuse cases.ĭame de Souza said its report, published this week, said further review of some of the cases found children suggesting direct links between exposure to pornography and harmful sexual behaviour. The comments come days after Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England, called for more robust online protections for children. 'I think that actually we should look at completely banning children having them in school because that would solve some of the problems of things like children being filmed getting changed or being filmed in toilets or upskirting, and things like that, that would solve some of it.' Smartphones should be banned in school to stop upskirting and reduce the damage done to children by watching pornography online, MPs have been told (file photo of teenagers texting)
