As part of the College’s implementation of the Keeping Safe Child Protection Curriculum, our Year 11 students listened to a presentation on Sexting and the Law by Ms Christina Self.
Ms Self is the Founder of Red Ginger Wellness, an organisation committed to developing creative, engaging educational programs to share critical health messages with both adults and young people.
Key take home messages from the presentation were:
- Legal consequences of ‘sexting’ explained in detail – The Law is ‘not fair’ and ‘ignorance of the law is no excuse’
- When in doubt, delete any and all images of any sexual nature
- Image based abuse – legal matters beyond ‘revenge porn’
A handy website for parents and students to use is the R U Legal website: https://resources.legalaid.wa.gov.au/project/rulegal
