Key Messages about Sexual Offences Act 2003

In June we circulated all CSF schools with a summary of key messages for school staff and pupils about the new Sexual Offences Act 2003, which came into force in May 2004.

If you have not seen a copy of this mailing, please contact Angela Savage Tel: 01438 844044. The Act aims to clarify what constitutes a crime of a sexual nature against children and adults.

The Act does not intend to limit children’s right to SRE and sexual health support and advice. A person does not commit an offence if s/he acts for the purpose of:

• Protecting the child from sexually transmitted infections
• Protecting the physical safety of the child
• Preventing the child from becoming pregnant
• Promoting the child’s emotional well being by the giving of advice.

The offences in the Act have been developed to enable the prosecution of abusive and exploitative sexual activity. To achieve this the age of consent for girls and boys regardless of sexuality, is 16.

The Sexual Offences Act can be downloaded from:
