Around 50 safeguarding and pastoral leaders from Jewish schools attended a special briefing organised by PaJeS in the wake of the national campaign to expose the sexual abuse of girls.

The Everyone’s Invited website has published thousands of anonymous testimonies of abuse, including several posted by students who identified themselves as pupils from Jewish schools.

The incidents ranged from being groped at school to sexual assault at parties.

Detective Inspector Mark Rogers briefed staff on the latest guidance from the Metropolitan Police on child exploitation, while Ilana Hutchinson of Jewish Women’s Aid advised schools on how to go about establishing a consent culture.
