Consent, peer pressure and sexual harrassment

Talking about consent is vital for safeguarding, but still one in three young people say that they were not taught about consent in school. This training equips participants with the skills and confidence to deliver an SRE curriculum that is pro-active about consent. The training provides opportunities to trial new resources and explore techniques for challenging sexism and ensuring all young people know what a positive, healthy relationship looks like.

Training outcomes:

• Clarification of relevant legislation and how to teach about the law
• Confidence to address issues such as sexting, sexual harassment and sexual violence
• Awareness of how consent is linked to wider SRE teaching on gender, peer pressure and power
• Knowlege of a range of resources and approaches for teaching about consent in a real-life context
