All pupils must be taught how to guard against abuse -- O'Keeffe

PRIMARY schools will no longer be allowed to opt out of teaching pupils how to protect themselves from abuse.

Hundreds of schools had refused to teach the Stay Safe programme, which trains pupils to recognise and report situations and behaviour that pose a risk of sexual or other abuse.

Note: Yeah, get them to all memorize the number to the child abuse hotline. That way they can call and report their parents for making them eat their vegetables and do their homework.
