Guidance on teaching about consent in PSHE education (key stages 3 & 4)
General advice for schools on teaching about consent accompanied by eight lesson plans.
The guidance is split into two parts: the first is general advice for schools on teaching about consent, outlining key concepts like ‘healthy relationships’ and the legal definition of consent so that teachers are clear about it themselves. It also provides guidance on how to ground lessons in real life contexts, while encouraging pupils not to talk about personal circumstances.
The second half provides eight lesson plans on different elements of consent, including avoiding assumptions relating to consent, the right to withdraw consent, the capacity to consent (including the impact of alcohol on consent) and challenging myths relating to consent.
