What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to address non-contact and peer-on-peer sexual offending, by:
• Requiring schools to inform all parents when harmful sexual behaviour is reported;
• Escalating repeated non-contact/peer-on-peer incidents beyond voluntary approaches with parental engagement;
• Ensuring victims receive support and are not left feeling silenced;
• Strengthening responses to adult non-contact offences, including internet restrictions;
• Improving data on repeated incidents;
• Challenging the culture that minimises this harm.
