Summary
Naturism, defined as a philosophical belief in a natural, naked lifestyle, has rights to self-expression and freedom unless an individual commits sexual offences or disorderly behavior. The Crown Prosecution Service has guidelines for handling cases of naturism, clarifying that prosecution will only be considered in specific circumstances and that attempted prosecutions of naturists have failed in recent years.
