What is Consent.Ed?
The Consent.Ed programme explores issues around sexual consent, providing an opportunity for us to discuss how we can look out for one another and create a positive, respectful consent culture, where everyone feels safe on campus.
It is expected that you and everyone in the LSE community takes part in Consent.Ed.
Level 1 and Level 2 should be completed by all students.
Get Started:
Self-enrol and complete your online module here. This should be completed before you arrive on campus.
Information on attending your Level 2 Consent.Ed session will be added to the site shortly.
Level 3 of Consent.Ed is for LSE Student Union clubs and societies committee members. Committee members will need to complete Level 3 Consent.Ed, which is an ‘Active Bystander’ course facilitated by Student Union staff.
Content Warning:
Both the online and in-person course materials for Consent.Ed discuss topics of sexual assault, harassment, abuse, and rape. We recognise the sensitive nature of Consent.Ed and students who feel unable to participate for personal reasons can opt out. Please note that there is the option to attend a survivor-only session for Level 2 Consent.Ed.
To find out more about survivor only sessions and/or opting out please read below:
As we recognise the sensitive nature of Consent.Ed, we will be offering survivor-only workshops, to create a carefully tailored space for discussion. These workshops are led by survivors and experts from an external organisation called Not The Only One. Learn more about survivor-only sessions here.
We’re here to support you, and we have dedicated resources and sources of support available to you. Find out more about support for students.
