Safeguarding basic: 'safe' adults should not behave in 'unsafe' ways. That leads children to be unable to distinguish when harm is being done to them. Appalling that NSPCC does not know this. Appalling that it has Statutory Safeguarding Powers yet does not comprehend grooming.

Disgusting. Exact same thing is being promoted to children in sex education. It is grooming on a national scale.

Just unbelievable that a children's charity is promoting porn to children in this way.

This is part of a consistent pattern of organisations which are supposed to be leading the fight against child abuse actually reversing the safeguarding measures designed to protect children. We need a public enquiry.

It is important to safeguard children from pornography in accordance with the statutory guidance and standard definition of what is sexual abuse.

Kids do need to be educated about the harmful effects of pornography. This video is too jokey in tone and the critical points the presenter does make about the harms it causes towards the end are lost in the speed babble.

Exactly what kind of moral value set are you working with, what is your management going. Where are your non executive directors on this. Withdraw this in the next 48 hours or I will report you to the Charities Commission, the government and send this to every journalist I can find.

There is no justification whatsoever for introducing children to pornography and this is extremely damaging to the interests of women and girls.

Use of porn is a known grooming tactic and easy access to porn is devastating children’s lives. What are Childline thinking?
