Consent is when someone agrees, gives permission, or says “yes” to sexual activity with other persons. Consent is always freely given and all people in a sexual situation must feel that they are able to say “yes” or “no” or stop

the sexual activity at any point. Signs you should pause and talk:

• You are not sure what the other person wants. • You feel like you are getting mixed signals. • You have not talked about what you both want to do. • You assume that you will do the same things as before. • Your partner stops or is not responsive. • Your partner says no. Non-verbal responses – time to stop: • Pushing away a partner • Recoiling

• Turning head • Frozen body • Nervous / frightened • Wiping off contact • Trying to move away from the situation Action

• Free confidential advice and information are available from the Hartpury Counselling team, the Hartpury Nurse, your tutor, the Wellbeing team and the Sexual Health team.
