CHILDREN'S SOCIETY OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER? REPORT

That this House is aware of the findings of the Children's Society's new report, Old Enough to know better? which has found that today one in 10, 16 and 17 year old girls are reporting that they had experienced a sexual offence against them in the preceding 12 months; and calls on the Government as a matter of priority to introduce measures to deal with this upsurge of illegal activities and to protect these young and vulnerable people in our communities.
