Lesson Content

Meaning And examples Of Sexual Offence

A sexual offence is when someone does something that makes another person feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a way that involves their private parts or personal space. This can be touching, saying rude things, or showing inappropriate pictures or videos. It is important to know that these actions are wrong and to tell a trusted adult if it happens.

Examples of sexual offences are actions that violate someone’s personal space or body without their consent. The following are examples of sexual offences:

1. Inappropriate touching without consent.
2. Using rude or inappropriate sexual language.
3. Showing inappropriate pictures or videos.
4. Harassment or unwanted attention.
5. Forcing someone to do something sexual against their will.
6. Making sexual jokes or comments that make someone uncomfortable.
7. Stalking or following someone in a way that makes them feel unsafe.

Body Safety and Getting Help

A sexual offence is unlawful sexual behaviour imposed on another person. For Primary Three, the essential lesson is that private body parts are private, a child cannot be blamed for abuse, and gifts, threats or secrets do not make unsafe behaviour acceptable.

Say no when possible, move away, tell a trusted adult and keep telling safe adults until help is given. Do not question or shame a child who reports harm; immediate danger requires emergency help.
