Consent Matters

Boundaries, Respect and Positive Intervention

A 60-minute interactive online course for students

Whether this is your first or last year at University, make a positive impact on campus by accessing the Consent Matters: Boundaries, Respect and Positive Intervention online training course.

We all know no means no, but there's more to consent than a simple yes or no.

This course will show you:

• What consent looks and sounds like
• How you can clearly communicate what you want
• When consent can be given and when it can't
• How and when you might step into a situation when consent is not present
