The report shows that, at the end of primary school age, the average student in special primary education answers 86 percent of the questions about maintaining sexual boundaries correctly. Among the least resilient children, this is still 56 percent. The figures for secondary education are comparable.
There are, however, clear differences between the average student and the least resilient children when it comes to questions about approaching an adult when a boundary has been crossed. The least resilient children are the least likely to ask adults for help when someone says something unpleasant.
The difference is even clearer in the case of unwanted touching. The most resilient children would tell an adult about it, while the least resilient children indicate that they would probably remain silent.
According to the report, school leaders and teachers say that almost all schools in special (primary) education pay considerable attention to sexual resilience. Most schools have also made arrangements to address sexual development. Approximately three-quarters of schools are actively engaged in identifying unwanted sexual behaviour.
