Children who are taught about preventing sexual abuse at school are more likely than others to tell an adult if they had [in the past], or were actually [currently] experiencing sexual abuse. This is according to the results of a new Cochrane review published in the Cochrane Library today. However, the review's authors say that more research is needed to establish whether school-based programmes intended to prevent sexual abuse actually reduce the incidence of abuse.
