Consent is Everything: an online consent programme
Sexual violence and harassment are never acceptable, and we expect all our students to contribute to a respectful community of learning. Consent is an important aspect of our day-to-day lives, whether we’re borrowing someone’s phone, hugging a friend, or navigating sexual experiences.
Understanding consent means we're all able to have more safe, healthy and enjoyable encounters. When it comes to sexual consent, it’s more than just avoiding breaking the law or meeting your ethical obligations. It’s about making intimate experiences work for everyone involved, respecting others, having strong communication and ensuring everyone has a good time.
