The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools reported deepfake intimate image abuse in 2024-25.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

Schools are under no obligation to report data on deepfake intimate image abuse to the department.

The department’s statutory safeguarding guidance, 'Keeping children safe in education', which supports schools and colleges to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, includes robust advice on how to protect pupils online. The guidance is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2.
