Consent is a fundamental part of all relationships, but it’s often misunderstood or overlooked. From outdated norms to gendered expectations, the way we talk about consent has been shaped by culture and institutions.

In this episode of Casting the Net, Molly from the Webwise Youth Panel chats with Sianna Williams and Alex Black from the Consent-Ed programme about boundaries, consent, and healthy communication. They discuss how the programme challenges harmful stereotypes and helps young people build a culture of respect — and, they share practical advice for teens on understanding and practicing consent in everyday life.

List to part 2, where they talk about reporting, red flags to watch out for in relationships, Coco’s Law, and key advice for teens.
