• Consent means giving permission for something to happen or agreeing to do something and being comfortable with that decision, emotionally and physically. The same rule applies regardless of gender expression or sexuality, if you’re planning to do anything sexual, both of you must give consent.
   

• Consent has to be given freely and no one can be made to consent to something. It’s not consent if someone does something because they feel like they have to. You can also never assume that someone is giving consent, you have to be sure.
   

• Consent is an essential part of a healthy relationships or interaction and it’s really important to know what it is and the many ways to spot it. Both you and the person you’re with always need to consent before sex or any intimate activity.
   

• If you want to do something sexual with your partner, EVERY TIME, the responsibility lies with you to check for consent, not with your partner to say ‘no’ if they don’t want to.
   

• Consent isn't permanent. Just because someone consented to something once, it still means you have to ask again as they could feel differently from last time. Also, consent to one sort of sexual activity does not mean consent to everything.
   

• People can't consent when they're drunk or they've taken drugs as it can affect their judgement
   

• Flirting isn't the same as consenting. Remember: if you're not sure, it's important to ask for consent.
