Icebreaker Activity – True or false? In pairs. Get to know the person sat next to you! For the next few minutes, share a personal experience with your partner, real or imaginary. You will each share your partner’s story with the group, who will decide if it’s true or false!

Group Activity – Positive and negative relationships As a group, discuss: What does a positive relationship look like? What does a negative relationship look like? Think about family, partnerships, friendships, support, colleagues, etc. In small groups: Create a poster depicting the words and imagery associated with positive and negative relationships.

Group Activity – Relationships in the media As a group, discuss: What relationships are young people seeing in films, online and in the press? How many of these are examples of positive relationships? Do young people view sex as an intimate, fun part of a loving, consenting relationship, or has it been skewed by violent, abusive media content?

Group Activity - Legal or illegal? On your own: Read through the list and see if you think these incidents are legal or illegal. As a group: Discuss your answers and compare them with the actual results.

Group Activity – What is pornography? “Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity intended to stimulate sexual excitement.” As a group: Discuss your individual answers to the Pornography Quiz, and compare them to the actual results.

Group Activity – What is consent? In small groups: Explain consent to an alien.

What is consent? “Consent means that both people in a sexual encounter must agree to it, and either person may decide at any time that they no longer consent and want to stop the activity. Consenting to one behaviour does not obligate you to consent to any other behaviours. Consenting on one occasion also does not obligate you to consent on any other occasion. Consenting means only that at this particular time, you would like to engage in this particular sexual behaviour.” www.pamf.org/teen/abc/sex/consent.html Palo Alto Medical Foundation

Group Activity - What is CSE? As a group: Define CSE and CSA Discuss the differences between CSE and CSA

What is child sexual exploitation? “Child sexual exploitation is a form of child sexual abuse. It occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18 into sexual activity in exchange for something the victim needs or wants, and/or for the financial advantage or increased status of the perpetrator or facilitator. The victim may have been sexually exploited even if the sexual activity appears consensual. Child sexual exploitation does not always involve physical contact; it can also occur through the use of technology.” Working Together 2018

What is child sexual abuse? “Child sexual abuse Involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities, not necessarily involving a high level of violence, whether or not the child is aware of what is happening. The activities may involve physical contact, including assault by penetration (e.g. rape, buggery or other penetrative acts) or oral sex or non-penetrative acts such as masturbation, kissing, rubbing and touching outside of clothing. It also includes non-contact activities such as viewing pornography or taking of inappropriate pictures or grooming.” Working Together 2018
