The Uncomfortable Truth About Consent Education
A new report examines shortcomings in how consent is taught in schools, arguing that many programmes remain superficial or avoid the harder realities of coercion, power and refusal. The piece suggests consent education often focuses on legal definitions rather than meaningful behavioural change, and calls for a more honest approach. Educators and advocates are debating how far schools should go in addressing these uncomfortable topics.
Why now: Ongoing public debate about the effectiveness of consent teaching in schools and its role in preventing sexual harm.
