Consent Campaign Preview

Consent Campaign Preview

The scale of sexual offending in the UK is a real concern and tackling it is an absolute priority for Cheshire Constabulary.

Sexual activity is an uncomfortable subject to talk about, but research shows that effective communication is vital to helping reduce sexual offending.

In September Cheshire Constabulary launched a consent campaign to all secondary schools across Cheshire in a bid to tackle the rising issue of peer-on-peer sexual offending.

If you missed the preview event, the below videos filmed of the speakers should give you all the information you need about the campaign, how to use it, and what support is available for you.
