Sex: Consent and Consequences, Rights and Responsibilities

What’s this about?

• Sex and consent awareness for young people.
  This is an information booklet tailored for young people that delivers the facts about sex when it comes to individual rights and responsibilities, and the emotional and legal necessity of consent for sexual intimacy.
• Healthy relationship language.
  This booklet empowers young people to make informed and positive choices through delivering clear, non-judgmental sex and relationships information.
• Reducing the chances of a lack of sex education.
  Designed to address the likelihood that, statistically, today’s young people will have sex at some point. However, the lack of consistent sex and relationships education (SRE) in schools and the bombardment of mixed messaging on the web and from the media is putting young people at risk.

  Any professional or individual engaging with young people may find it beneficial to give to young people (teachers, social workers, youth offending). Also suitable for parents.
