For the past 18 months, I have collaborated with some really great people from around the district and support agencies in the creation of the Planning 10 Program, "What's Consent got to do with it?"
Learning about informed consent is so important because consent plays a big role in our life, from getting permission to go on a field trip, to posting pictures online. In BC, there are laws around consent, especially consent for sexual activity.
This program starts by looking at consent, and gets students to understand the definition. Then, after a presentation by the School Liaison Officer, students will better understand how the use of drugs and alcohol can hamper a person's ability to give consent. Finally, we looks at how consent impacts your daily life, online safety and ethics, and sexual assault prevention/awareness.
