Consent EDUCATION for schools

Fostering a Consent Culture

"Respectful relationships, sexuality and consent education are most effective when taught in the context of a whole school approach that reinforces teaching through school culture."

​

- Department of Education and Training, Victoria

​

This program helps to foster a whole-school approach to consent education, driving a cultural shift towards more respectful relationships. 

In a society where the concept of consent is rapidly evolving, it's vital that those working with young people are equipped with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of what consent really involves and why it matters. 

​

Participants will learn that consent doesn’t just relate to sex. The skills and knowledge they develop can be applied to a range of interactions with students and other staff, helping schools to build a culture of consent. 

Key learning outcomes: 

• Understand the many facets of consent

• Learn to recognise and challenge damaging societal attitudes that normalise non-consensual behaviour

• Develop skills to teach students to establish consent, give/receive direction and accept rejection (with a focus on non-sexual contexts)

​

Participants will receive a certificate of completion and reference sheet summarising the points covered.

​

Who it’s for: 

This is a program for all school staff. Teachers, Principal Class and ES staff from all sectors and Learning Areas can benefit from learning the skills to promote a school-wide culture of consent. 

Duration: 90 mins

​

Training can be run as an online webinar or in person seminar for whole staff bodies. Contact us for information on cost and availability.
