Consent Training

Consent in relationships means that everyone has the right to say no to any activity they are not comfortable with. Exploring the topic helps children and young people understand boundaries not just in their relationships, teaching them respect for themselves and respect for each other. Teaching consent embeds the idea that sexual violence and harassment are never acceptable under any circumstances.

In our sessions with teachers, education providers and youth workers, we share the skills to create safe and non-judgemental spaces for young people to have these important yet often difficult conversations. The aim is to open up discussions about consent, allowing young people to explore their own views, societal views and the law.

Speaking with young people about sex and sexual relationships can feel awkward and embarrassing. But it doesn’t need to be the case. These conversations make a huge difference in ensuring young people start and continue healthy and equal relationships into adulthood.

When training teachers, education providers and youth workers to discuss consent with young people, we cover how to recognise healthy intimate relationships, how to resist pressure and not pressure others and the law around the age of consent, violence against women and girls, sexting and pornography. Our courses are tailored to the sector you work in (such as secondary school, FE college, youth group, etc.).
