Fidas Consent Training

sent is an issue that can often be misunderstood. Awareness and understanding of the facts and legislation around s*xual consent have become an increasingly contested issue in recent years. The issue of s*xual consent is widely known. There is hardly a day when questions about s*xual consent and s*xual abuse are not covered in the news or on social media - although schools do provide healthy relationship training and s*x education. Consent needs to be explored in real depth. Only this will help to keep young people safe. To understand s*xual consent helps to build healthy, fulfilling, and respectful relationships and reinforces the fact that any s*xual activity without consent is a crime and can lead to possible conviction, where only the perpetrator can be blamed. It is vital that young people are fully aware of the long-term implications of any involvement in s*xual activity where consent is not clear. Sexual consent should be understood by all young people either prior to them leaving school or during their time within further education. When speaking to students, pupils and youth groups, I have found that a major part of why young people become victims or perpetrators of s*xual abuse, is a lack of basic knowledge. Young people are the first ones to acknowledge that more needs to be done to give them this knowledge. The main reason why young people do not report s*xual abuse is because they do not know what will happen next. My consent workshop will put an end to the unknown. My consent workshops are researched, designed, and delivered in a manner which explores relevant issues sensitively and provides a knowledge and understanding for young people in relation to what is acceptable within personal/s*xual relationships and the consequences when consent is not respected. Tailored current information on agencies and partnerships that can provide help and support to young people on these issues is provided. Any disclosure by participants will be dealt with confidentiality, sensitively and with expertise. Workshops are delivered through informative activities, discussions, films, quizzes and scenarios. They are delivered as individual sessions, 2 hours to 4 hours in duration (depending on the age or circumstances of the young person). During the workshops I will cover the following topics:

• Consent – what is it?
• Consent and the law
• Emotional/Physical/Legal consequences of s*xual assault
• A victim’s journey
• A suspect’s journey
• The criminal justice system
• Being in control
• Myths
• Where and how to get help




As part of the course, I offer an initial free consultation. Please get in touch for further information. I can adapt my workshop to the needs and age of each group and can deliver face to face or online.
