What’s included in our workshops

Our workshops give parents and carers of young people aged 11-18 the knowledge and confidence to talk about consent, sexual violence and healthy relationships. They’re led by Chloe and Niamh, who bring experience from social work and the survivor support sector. Each session is live, interactive and practical.

Each workshop includes:

  • A warm welcome. Chloe and Niamh introduce themselves, share their experience and explain what ConsentED hopes to achieve.

  • A safe, confidential space. We agree on ground rules together. You can take part as much or as little as you like, and you’re welcome to take a breather at any point.

  • The facts. Up-to-date statistics on sexual violence, and an honest acknowledgement that these conversations can feel hard, especially across generations.

  • Consent and the law. What consent means, and what the law says about the age of consent.

  • Understanding sexual violence. Group activities learning about sexual violence, connecting everyday attitudes and behaviours to more serious harm.

  • Red and green flags. How to spot healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviours, and how to talk about them.

  • Starting the conversation. Practical dos and don’ts.

  • Support and resources. Key organisations, also sent in a follow-up email.

You’ll leave with a toolkit for these conversations, a clearer understanding of the law, and a list of trusted support services.

ConsentED offers engaging, informed and practical workshops for parents & carers of young people. The workshops will cover the legalities and practicalities of consent, common forms of sexual violence, and generational differences and recommendations on how to have conversations about this with your young person to foster them to lead healthy relationships.
