Sexting and Young People: The Parent's View

Research summaries from the Evidence Group of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety. 

This highlight is a summary of the results of a large scale survey undertaken by FACTs International, on behalf of the NSPCC, between February and April 2016.

The study examined explored parent’s knowledge and perceptions of sexting, as well as the types of resources and support that they would like to receive. Initial qualitative interviews were undertaken with 32 parents and carers in order to inform the survey questions.

This was followed by an online survey with 1000 parents and carers from across the UK, which was available online between the 4th April and the 19th April.
