We’ve relaunched our online consent website for teens!

Navigating the world of sex and consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people. That’s why we’re excited to relaunch PAUSE PLAY STOP – a free, easy-to-use online tool designed to help students aged 13+ feel more confident and in control when it comes to sex and consent.

Spark conversations in the classroom


Practical tools for understanding consent: from real-life situations to online interactions, the site teaches young people how to get clear and enthusiastic consent.
Recognising “No” in all its forms: consent isn’t just about saying “yes” or “no.” PAUSE PLAY STOP helps young people recognise the many ways people might express their boundaries, whether verbally or non-verbally.
Understanding consent and the law: knowing your rights and the legal aspects of consent is crucial. The site breaks it down in a way that’s easy to understand.
Why someone might not be able to consent: the site covers scenarios where consent can’t be given, such as when someone is under the influence of drugs/alcohol or feeling pressured.
Respect, boundaries, and communication: healthy relationships are built on these principles. PAUSE PLAY STOP emphasises the importance of mutual respect and open communication.
Being an active bystander: Learn how to safely challenge sexual violence and support others in difficult situations.
Identifying coercive control: recognising the signs of coercion is key to maintaining healthy relationships.

SARC

What is a sexual assault referral centre (SARC)?

A SARC can offer free, confidential medical, practical and emotional support to people who have been raped, sexually abused or assaulted at any point in their lives. They’re usually provided by the NHS, but will always have specially trained doctors, nurses and support workers.
