Yet it is vital that young people are informed about practicing safe sex, what consent is and its importance and sexual orientations in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies, STDs, rape & confusion about sexual identity

According to the Office for National Statistics, "Nearly three-quarters (73%) of female victims of rape offences and over three-quarters (78%) of female victims of other sexual offences recorded by the police were aged under 30.
