What do we cover in our school workshops and assemblies?
Consent Workshops
For years 5 and 6, the workshops focus on boundaries and the importance of consent in relation to boundaries and interactions with friends.
Throughout the interactive session we will go through:
- Understanding personal boundaries and how they change depending on whether we are with friends, family, acquaintances or strangers.
- What bodily autonomy means.
- How to feel confident asserting your own boundaries.
- What consent means and how it works in relation to boundaries.
In this boundaries and consent workshop, the focus is still mostly on helping students understand boundaries and how consent relates to that. There is some discussion of consent in age relevant relationship scenarios and of sexual harassment.
This consent workshop covers:
- How to assertively uphold our boundaries, when it can be difficult to do so and how we can respect others’ boundaries.
- The meaning of consent, both legally and in reality.
- Age-appropriate discussion of how to understand the presence of absence of consent through verbal and non-verbal communication.
- Understanding what sexual harassment means and what kind of language is acceptable versus unacceptable.
At this age more people will be engaging in or thinking about relationships and around two thirds of students will have viewed pornography. It is important to go into more depth on consent and provide students the space to ask questions and discuss.
This workshop covers:
- The importance of aiming for positive and enthusiastic consent and what that means.
- A discussion of the impact sexual violence can have on victims.
- What causes grey areas and confusion in relationships or sexual situations and how to manage those to ensure everyone is safe, healthy and respected.
By this time most students will be aware of relationships and sexual activity in their social groups and around half of people will engage in sexual activity by 18 years old. As students’ understanding and experiences develop, we introduce more nuance to the subject.
This consent workshop covers:
- Going beyond legal consent and making sure any sexual activity is safe and a positive experience for everyone involved.
- How we can prioritise safety, care, respect and communication in relationships & sexual activity.
- How communication might work in reality as well as the importance of being attentive to a partner.
- Understanding barriers and enablers to consent and how to manage those.
Sexting and issues of online sexual abuse are relatively common amongst young people. Our online consent workshops offer students a safe space to ask questions and discuss the issues they face, whilst receiving important advice on how to stay safe and avoid harming others online.
We will discuss:
- The law and key definitions like image based sexual abuse and cyberflashing.
- The reasons young people might decide to engage in sharing sexual images.
- The impact that image based sexual abuse can have on young people’s lives.
- What consent is and how the way we manage consent might be different online.
- How to keep yourself safe and the importance of being careful to ensure you don’t harm others or break the law.
The content of these workshops is flexible and adapted to be appropriate for the group.
Depending on the age group, the points we cover are:
- What good and bad relationships look and feel like.
- What boundaries are; how we can uphold our own and also respect others’ boundaries.
- How boundaries might change depending on the person or the situation.
- What consent means and why it is important.
- What sort of behaviour is harmful and what we can do if something makes us feel uncomfortable.
- What is sexual violence and how serious it can be.
University workshops can be adapted to be relevant for your students.
University Consent Workshops generally cover:
- Moving beyond a focus on just “consent” to the importance of care, respect, safety, co-determination and ongoing communication.
- Being aware of what might create barriers to a positive sexual experience, particularly in a university context and how to manage those.
- Being aware of and navigating an environment where attitudes and ideas regarding sex and relationships may be more diverse.
Active Bystander Workshops
For this age group active bystander workshops aim to introduce the idea of challenging language & behaviour that they know is wrong, rather than going along with it.
We will cover:
- The importance of actively challenging harmful language and behaviour.
- How they can challenge them in a way that they feel able to do.
- What kind of language and attitudes need to be challenged.
This specific workshop is focused on understanding and tackling the issue of sexual harassment.
The workshop will cover:
- The prevalence of sexual harassment amongst young people.
- The impact of sexual harassment on victims.
- The negative impact sexual harassment can have on cultures and friendship groups.
- How we can challenge it when we see it.
Through engaging discussion we will empower students to feel confident challenging attitudes and expressions like misogyny, harmful stereotypes and objectification.
The session will cover:
- Why it is important to challenge negative behaviour and sexual violence.
- What needs to be challenged and how certain beliefs and attitudes can enable sexual violence.
- How to feel confident challenging someone in a way that ensures you stay safe.
Consent Assemblies
An interactive assembly that teaches the importance of communication, respect and empathy, whilst introducing the topic of consent.
This primary school consent assembly covers:
- What personal boundaries are and what boundaries we might have.
- The importance of respect, empathy and communication in relation to boundaries and upholding them.
- An introduction to what consent means and when it is important in the students’ lives.
During this assembly the focus is on helping students understand the importance of boundaries and empowering them to uphold their own. The meaning of consent is introduced in an age-appropriate way.
This consent assembly covers:
- What personal boundaries are.
- How we can communicate assertively versus passively or aggressively and why that is important.
- What consent means.
- How someone might be affected if something is done without their consent and how they can receive support if that happens.
In this session we go into a bit more depth on consent in relationships in a way that is age appropriate and relevant to the students’ lives.
This consent assembly covers:
- Understanding a comprehensive definition of consent.
- How consent works; including checking in with yourself, communicating how you feel, communicating with the other person and being aware of how they feel.
- Understanding the definitions of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
- Understanding some online offences like cyberflashing and non consensual image sharing.
- What to do if something happens without your consent online or offline.

- The fact that every person has a right to equally positive and safe relationships and sexual activity.
- The prevalence of sexual violence and the impact it has on victims.
- The importance of aiming for positive and enthusiastic consent and what that means.
- How to manage grey areas or issues surrounding consent to ensure everyone is safe, healthy and respected.

The assembly covers:
- The issue of sexual violence in society and amongst people their age.
- Going beyond “getting consent” to aiming for positive experiences.
- Discussions of relevant barriers and enablers to positive experiences and how to manage those.
Our consent online assembly recognises the reality of young people’s online lives and gives them relevant advice and information to keep themselves and each other safe.

Like the workshops the university talks can be adapted to be relevant for your students.

- Moving beyond a focus on just “consent” to the importance of care, respect, safety, co-determination and ongoing communication.
- Being aware of what might create barriers to a positive sexual experience, particularly in a university context and how to manage those.
- Being aware of and navigating an environment where attitudes and ideas regarding sex and relationships may be more diverse.
Parent & Teacher Consent Talks
Talks give teachers and parents the necessary information and confidence to discuss these issues with children.
We would cover:
- The issue of sexual violence and the need to educate children at an early age.
- What parents and teachers need to be aware of.
- How to talk about the subjects of consent, boundaries, sexual violence and harmful attitudes with children.
- What a parent can do if their child discloses something and how to respond.
Throughout the session we would reference what we delivered to students during their assemblies/workshops.
