About this course

Developed under the guidance of an expert panel of advisors, authors, and student and staff reviewers, the new edition of the award-winning Consent Matters: Boundaries, Respect, and Positive Intervention course has been updated to provide current, inclusive, and scalable training on sexual consent, communication and relationships, and bystander intervention. This new edition draws on the latest developments in culture, law, and global best practices to encourage good communication, clear boundaries, and mutual respect in relationships, as well as exploring ways that students can support others and make a positive impact in their community.

Consent Matters delivers up-to-date education on key concepts through a wide range of interactive multimedia activities, including live polls, animations, and quizzes. The realistic scenarios and peer perspectives that feature throughout the course represent the experiences of diverse student communities. The course has also been reviewed by a language accessibility expert to ensure that the course caters to students with English as a second language.

The online course is concise and fully flexible, with a streamlined, modular structure that can be integrated into a blended learning approach to complement existing face-to-face workshops. The course enables institutions to efficiently and cost-effectively scale up consent initiatives institution-wide and provide a neutral, accessible ‘safe space’ for prevention training.
