  1. Consent and the media

  2. An FPA survey Sexual Health Week 2018revealed that 38% of people said they learnt about consent from TV and film. But what’s presented as romantic and desirable behaviour in a Hollywood sex scene, is often anything but.

  3. Think about your favourite film… Do any of the love scenes follow these rules? • Consent has been verbally given, or asked for. • There is no coercion involved: violence, threat, pressure, asking multiple times until they say yes (persistence). • None of the characters involved are intoxicated. • None of the characters are underage. • Each of the characters involved are giving verbal and non-verbal cues that they want to have sex. Bonus points if condoms are involved!

  13. Where to get help • If you’ve been raped or assaulted and you need urgent medical care, call 999 (or 112 from a mobile) and ask for an ambulance, or go straight to your nearest A&E. • You can also call 999 (or 112 from a mobile) if you wish to speak to the police. • A doctor or nurse can help you get emotional support.
