A recording of our free, livestream research café talk with Dr Gill Harrop & Holly Barnes-Bennetts from the Interpersonal Relationships & Wellbeing Research group, University of Worcester.
Two Sides of Consent: Hearing No and and Saying Yes
This talk will consider two different approaches to the issue of sexual consent: hearing and recognising when someone does not consent and knowing how to communicate a 'yes' when one does consent. These issues will be considered within the context of positive sexual behaviour, as well as the prevention of sexual harm.
