Sexual assault stock image, made on Canva Exclusions for sexual misconduct at Lancashire’s schools have risen, figures reveal. But charity Rape Crisis said the figures do not show the true scale of sexual abuse inside schools, following thousands of allegations by students across England. Department for Education figures show Lancashire schools excluded students 31 times for sexual misconduct in 2018-19 – two permanently and 29 temporarily. This was an increase on the year before, when there were 18. Of the exclusions in 2018-19, the majority (22) occurred in state-funded secondary schools, six in special schools and three in primary schools. They were among 1,972 sexual misconduct exclusions – which include incidents of sexual abuse, sexual bullying and sexual harassment – across England that year.
