About the project

This project was created to fill a gap in the need for inclusive and direct consent education in different communities.

What is consent to us?

”A person consents if [they] agree by choice, and have the freedom and capacity to make that choice.”

Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 74

We simplify the law down to Elements which everyone can understand and remember:

  • Agreement by Choice
  • Freedom to Make, Change and Withdraw your Choice
  • Capacity to Make a Choice

These elements contain their own information and points to note, which we teach during our workshops.

In summary, this is what we teach: how to apply the elements of consent to every situation.

What do we do?

We aim to promote consent education and support for victims of sexual violence by working with organisations.

One of our core principles is that consent education should be free to the public, so we will never impose a fee on attendees. Depending on the cost of running a workshop, we may ask for assistance from an organisation to help cover our costs.

Workshops

Our workshops explain our "Elements" model of consent which can be adapted based on the community we are supporting.

We can adapt our workshops by:

  • Using customised scenarios during our discussions.
  • Providing consent tools that work best within your community based on feedback and research.
  • Confirm your venue and event rules with attendees.
Materials

We provide materials such as posters and flyers to draw attention to consent where it is needed.

Our materials are designed to stand out and be eye-catching to draw attention. Even if people only read one line, we have people thinking about consent generally.

Reporting Procedures

Every venue should have a procedure to report incidents of sexual offences. We can assist in the creation and review of these procedures.

These can include:

  • Designated points of contact.
  • Covert reporting methods (e.g., Ask for Angela).
  • Training for staff on what to do if they receive a report.
  • Promotion of reputable third party support services.
Training

We can provide training to staff or volunteers including a workshop on what consent is, how to explain consent to others and what to do if they encounter victims of sexual violence.

Training will include the established Reporting Procedures which all staff need to know.
