One to ones and lone working in educational settings
"This factsheet aims to provide clear, practical guidance to ATL members who, in the course of their duties, may find themselves in one-to-one situations with children or vulnerable adults.
All organisations with staff that may be expected to work with children and vulnerable adults on a one-to-one basis should provide clear guidance.
Employers owe their staff a duty of care and, mindful of this, should strive to minimise any risk to staff’s health and safety.
There is also potential for staff to be accused of inappropriate behaviour in one-to-one situations. It is therefore essential that, when working on a one-to-one basis, all reasonable precautions have been taken."

BBC DJs put on 'Savile Lockdown' at Teen Awards: Stars forced to have chaperones as parents told not to let children give mobile numbers to staff
>Every adult at awards banned from moving around Wembley Arena alone,
>Source: 'Security staff even waited outside while we visited the bathroom',
>Corporation has updated consent form banning exchange of personal details.
"The BBC placed staff at its Radio 1 Teen Awards under draconian restrictions to prevent presenters being accused of sexual misconduct with minors.
All adults – including the station’s star DJ Nick Grimshaw – were banned from moving around Wembley Arena without a security guard and even needed an escort for visits to the lavatory.
The rules were so stringently enforced that guests referred to them as ‘Savile Lockdown’, in reference to the late paedophile [sic] BBC DJ Jimmy Savile."

Don't Stand Too Close To Them
Monday 07 October 2013
"Anita Anand explores the taboo topic of teachers having relationships with their students. It should never happen but it does but the law is clear: teachers are in loco parentis and as such cannot have a relationship with a student under the age of 18. Not only is it a criminal offence, it is a fully recognised abuse of the position of trust that the teacher is in - it applies even if the pupil is over the age of consent and the relationship is consensual.
In this documentary Anita hears the views of teachers and head teachers on what happens when a relationship crosses the line to become "inappropriate". She asks what support, if any, is offered to individuals who find themselves involved with those they teach. And have modern teaching methods and a more informal approach made it harder to define the line which should not be crossed by students or teachers?"

Teachers and sexual relationships with students aged 16+
"Sexual relationships between teachers and pupils aged 16 and over have been happening for a long time. Similarly, for a long time, there has been a feeling that, once at the age of consent, a sexual relationship between consenting adults – irrespective of the student/teacher relationship – is not one into which the law should intrude. Parliament has seen otherwise and since 2001, there have been specific ‘abuse of trust’ offences.
Some teachers get into sexual relationships with students who are under the age of 16. This post is not concerned with such cases and is not about revisiting whether sexual activity with children is wrong."

Stranger danger: Chilling TV experiment shows 7 of 9 children leave with adult they don't know
"ITV's Daybreak says it conducted the test to raise awareness, but has been accused of 'scaremongering' by some viewers.
While not on a wide enough scale to be statistically significant, Daybreak says the experiment raises awareness of the importance of both teaching children about stranger danger."
