Yes, they should definitely be given age appropriate information and advice. I'm sure schools would only touch lightly on the topic for children so young but they really need it. I know primary and early secondary school children are extremely savvy but there are many exceptions, I didn't know anything about this when I was 11, I thought children were only abused by men in white vans who offer you sweets, but statistics show that the abuser us highly likely to be someone the child knows personally. It's very important to keep them informed.
