Can We Talk About Consent? breaks down the basics of how to give and get consent in every aspect of life for readers aged 14 years and older. It's a powerful word, but not everyone understands exactly what it means. This stylish guide explains clearly why consent matters - for all of us.
With honest explanations by experienced sex and relationships educator Justin Hancock, you'll learn how consent is a vital part of how we connect with ourselves and our self-esteem, the people close to us and the wider world.
The book covers a broad range of topics, including: how we greet each other how to choose things for ourselves how we say no to things communicating and respecting choices in sexual relationships the factors that can affect a person's ability to choose how to empower other people by giving them consent. And - there's a whole lot of pizza.
This guide to consent gives you all the tools you need to build consensual relationships.
I requested this one when a friend of mine told me about it when we were having a conversation about consent and how to bring up the subject with my 12 year old daughter. I’m glad she showed me this book as it is quite good.The book is not only about sexual consent but consent in all different manner of things. It starts asking you if you are happy to continue the book, which at first I laughed at but then the more the book goes on, I realised it’s actually a great way to get any young person who is reading the book, to understand consent is around so much in our everyday lives.
There is a section on sexual consent, and it does warn you beforehand so you know whether you want to continue on, or skip that chapter.
The author has written this book well, and uses pizza a lot as a reference, having to house from all the different pizzas on a menu etc. It sounds weird but makes sense when you read it!
I’d recommend this to people looking to understand consent, or even like me, just wondering on how to talk about it with a child.
