Sexual harassment in schools

The idea that girls are suffering from sexual harassment - and even sexual violence - at school will shock most parents. We assume schools provide a safe environment for all pupils, but concern that this is not always the case has prompted MPs to launch an inquiry.
Joanna Gosling spoke to Shannon Rooney, who was sexually attacked at school when she was 15; Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield; as well as Vicky Jenkinson who acts as an advocate for Girl-guiding; and Kiri Tunks, a secondary school teacher in east London.
