Sex Education: Online Porn 'Should Be Included'

Sex and relationship education in schools must address the issue of internet porn, David Cameron has insisted.

But the Prime Minister said there was no need for wholesale reform and parents must learn more about how to protect their children from accessing pornography on the internet.

Mr Cameron admitted he was still "grappling" with how to talk with his own children about online dangers.

He said: "We need to make sure we are up to date on the problems of the internet.

"Where I absolutely agree with the Education Secretary is that I am not looking for wholesale reform of the curriculum on sex education.

"We should be alert to those points and make those changes, but I don't think we need wholesale reform."

He added: "We have all got to get involved because of the internet. We all have to learn more about the internet, the dangers of the internet, the issue of access for children."

Parents had to be ready to talk to their children about pornography and to educate themselves about the use of parental controls to limit what their children can access, he said.

Mr Cameron added: "Because so much computer access goes on in the home, I am afraid we are all going to have to get better at understanding all these issues around parental controls."

It comes after Education Secretary Michael Gove ruled out an overhaul of the Government's guidance on sex education, hours after Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg publicly called for it to be updated.

Mr Gove said the guidance had been recently reviewed, but experts suggested there was no point altering it because "technology changes so rapidly".

The guidance has remained the same for more than a decade and critics claim it has been overtaken by technological changes.

Campaigners want schoolchildren to be taught about internet pornography, social media and relationships as well as the practicalities of how reproduction works.
