Protecting young minds - Healthy relationships & consent conversations 2023

Empowering the community with the information they need to keep young people safe with respectful relationships and consent conversations.

Consent Labs will deliver this webinar for parents and carers, school staff and the community to empower you with the information you need to support young people with the knowledge and tools to understand their rights and support available for them.

Learn more about current research that points out the important role we all play in preventing sexual assault; to protect our young people from becoming victims or perpetrators unknowingly.

And the solution - backed by evidence - states respectful relationships and consent education throughout our young peoples lives is the key.

'High quality, comprehensive and rights-based sexuality education programmes can delay initiation of sexual activity and unprotected intercourse... and therefore decrease unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among young people.'

International Planned Parenthood Federation (2009)

'Comprehensive relationships and sex education for children and young people promotes wellbeing for all and is known to be effective in reducing the incidence of negative sexual experiences and sexualised violence.'

Ignorance is not innocence: Safeguarding sexual wellbeing through relationships and sex education (2018)

'Respectful relationships education provides an opportunity... to address the drivers of gender-based violence and contribute to creating an Australia free from violence'

Our Watch (2021)
