It’s really worrying that people of all ages think that it’s not OK to withdraw consent.

A survey by sexual health charity FPA revealed that deeply concerning attitudes about sexual consent seem to be prevalent in all age groups in the UK.

FPA is now calling for high-quality relationships and sex education (RSE) on consent and better representation of consent in the media after the survey showed a huge disparity between young people’s perception of their knowledge of consent, and their attitudes when presented with real-life scenarios.
