Can a teacher report this?

Say I tell a teacher about sexual abuse that happened to me when I was very young (17, happened when I was 8) (and something that I never reported), would they be obligated to report it if I talk to them about it?
Yes probably as its protocol

I mean you could ask them before you say anything, but Id be pretty certain they have to report instances of abuse

They will not be able to make a commitment to keep sexual abuse confidential and will almost certainly need to let the management team know. It’s important you get support though. There are confidential helplines like Childline or NSPCC where you can remain anonymous if you want to
