Consent and Bystander Intervention

Sexual Consent

Consent means that you have given permission, or that someone has given you permission to engage in any intimate activity for sex. Any sexual contact without consent is illegal.

Consent is an essential part of healthy relationships and it’s really important to know what it is and the many ways to spot it. Both you and the person you’re with always need to consent before sex or any intimate activity.

Take our Consent Training to help you understand the importance of consent and the issues around it, so that you can enjoy healthy and respectful relationships, and support your friends and classmates better.

Bystander intervention

Our Exe-Change the Norm active bystander intervention training explores how to be an effective and active bystander in different settings, with a particular focus on responding to harassment, sexual misconduct, and racism.

By taking part you’ll gain valuable insights into the importance of bystander intervention and develop the confidence to address harmful behaviours. This training is an excellent opportunity to ask questions, engage in meaningful discussions, and contribute to a more inclusive and respectful university community.
