Porn tips for teachers

-

TEACHERS have been urged to be “open-minded” about discussing porn, according to new advice given to schools.

Guidelines – called “Let’s Talk Porn” – say teachers must be “non-judgmental” when talking about controvers­ial sex-education issues. But experts warned that teaching youngsters about porn risked making it appear normal.

Tips from sexual health charity the Family Planning Associatio­n include suggesting members of staff practise “explaining what words related to porn mean in a neutral way”.
