I don't know if it has changed, but there used to be a clause in a teacher's contract (for Further Education anyway) that could result in instant dismissal offence for activities carried out even in a teacher's private or social activities .. probably to avoid the situation where a lecturer receives "favours" from students in return for good grades, no matter who initiated the favours and despite the fact that both involved were over the legal age of consent.
