'Are you a MILF miss?' - The 'coarsening' of the classrooms as kids are kicked out of school for sexual misconduct
But more recently concern has been growing over the level of inappropriate behaviour and language children are using towards each other and school staff.
It's a bleak but unsurprising picture for Michael Conroy, whose company Men at Work trains school staff on talking to pupils, mostly boys, about these issues. "I started noticing the young men and boys showing the impact of the porn they were consuming," he said. "The way they were talking to girls and female teachers.Michael, who is originally from Bolton but now lives Midlands, helps trains teachers in Manchester, as well as social workers and youth workers.
"The figures don't say who has done what to who, which is a real problem, because if we can't name the problem, how can we work out a solution. "Even in primaries there are real concerns over lads bringing in phones with porn on it, trying to show others they they know about it, shouting out terminology from porn films, grim stuff like 'fisting'," he said.
"Others might want to do more, but don't have the tech know-how, while others just forget about it and let it slide. Or there might be older siblings around who access stuff and then leave it hanging around on screens. "And then there was the student leaving the letters 'MMAS' at the bottom of his work and his teacher found out it meant 'make me a sandwich'. It's all about trying to have the power and he didn't think she should be able to tell him what to do.What he is sure on from his work with educators, social workers, youth workers and family support workers, is the need to 'keep all young people safe'.
"It's about them having clear guidelines and boundaries. And I always tell staff to look at it foremost from a safeguarding perspective. It's about pupils being safe and being safe to be around.The Pankhurst Trust, which incorporates Manchester Women’s Aid, facilitates the Men at Work 10 Dialogues groupwork programme for young men and boys, which is funded for three years, from January 2022, by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
