Beyond harm narratives: Reimagining porn education through ‘safe uncertainty’
Contemporary UK policy and educational responses to pornography are largely organized around risk, harm, and prevention. Drawing on the UK Independent Pornography Review, this article examines how pornography is constructed as an object of governance and how this framing shapes pedagogy. While harm-prevention approaches prioritize certainty about meaning and effect, interdisciplinary research highlights young people’s interpretive diversity, ambi…
Beyond ‘just say no’: Safe Uncertainty and rethinking responses to image-based sexual abuse among young people
Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) is an evolving and increasingly pervasive form of harm in young people’s digital lives. In England, current responses remain fragmented, punitive and often ineffective, shaped by moralistic education, legal incoherence and risk-averse safeguarding practices. In this we review, we synthesise critical literature and stakeholder insights to examine how a trauma-informed, rights-based and ecologically grounded framewor…

We highlight contradictions between policing objectives and strategies, with police engagement often em…
From ‘harmful sexual behaviour’ to ‘harmful sexual culture’: Addressing school-related sexual and gender-based violence among young people in England through ‘post-digital sexual citizenship’
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in schools in England is a pressing concern, especially since the 'Everyone's Invited' movement laid bare the extent of the problem across the country. This article analyses the national policy context, asserting that SGBV is a systemic problem rooted in young people's school and online peer cultures that requires transformative solutions, involving active youth participation. We introduce and explore the u…
