Step 3

Respect and Consent

What we are going to learn today

  • What consent means.
  • Why consent is important.
  • How you should always gain consent before touching someone.
  • How others should always gain consent before touching you.

Below is a short animation about ‘Consent’. Please play the animation and then discuss what you see with your teacher and classmates. You might decide to do this in small groups or the whole class may decide to do it together. Either way is fine.

Things to discuss

  1. What does consent mean to you?
  2. When do you use consent?
  3. How do you give consent to someone?
  4. What does consent mean between friends and family compared to if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?

Below, you will find a workbook that you should complete.
