About Us
How we started
Consent in Practice was founded by an MSc-trained researcher whose academic work focused on sexual consent and online misogyny. This research background informs all our training, ensuring our work is evidence-based, ethically grounded, and responsive to contemporary digital realities. Consent in Practise helps businesses move past due diligence and makes staff wellbeing a priority, through the non-judgemental process this allows for staff to ascertain knowledge to incorporate into all aspects of their lives in and outside of work. The aim is to create a harmonious workplace environment both online and offline where everyone can thrive.
Each course has a robust and lifelong post course initative where support for participants is available, sometimes the content of the courses can be distressing and the subject nature can cause a emotive response our post course support package is available for all participants.
Courses are delivered in person or virtually. They will involve some group-based activities and discussion led tasks. Each course or presentation can be tailored your business type or event. Courses are accredited upon completion you will receive a certificate of completion.
Our Ethos
At Consent in Practice, we believe that informed consent is not a rule to memorise, but a practice to develop. It is shaped by communication, context, power, and the environments—both physical and digital—in which people work and relate to one another.
We approach consent education through an evidence-based and ethical lens. Our work is grounded in research on sexual consent, online misogyny, and digital abuse, and focuses on translating complex ideas into practical tools that support understanding, prevention, and accountability.
We recognise that harm often occurs not through obvious malice, but through unequal power, social pressure, blurred boundaries, and digital environments that normalise abuse. Addressing these realities requires clarity, responsibility, and a willingness to move beyond surface-level compliance.
Our teaching centres dignity, agency, and mutual responsibility. We believe:
We do not position ourselves as enforcers or adjudicators. Our role is to support workplaces and individuals in developing the knowledge, language, and ethical awareness needed to communicate boundaries clearly, recognise harm early, and respond responsibly.
Above all, we are committed to fostering cultures where consent is understood in practice—not as a checkbox, but as a shared ethical responsibility that extends online and offline.
Why Consent in Practice
Consent is often treated as a simple rule or a one-time question. In reality, consent is shaped by hierarchy, social norms, digital platforms, and unequal power—particularly in professional and online settings.
Workplaces increasingly face challenges around:
-
Blurred professional and digital boundaries
-
Online harassment and misogyny
-
Power imbalances that complicate consent
-
Policies that exist without shared understanding
Individuals, meanwhile, are navigating mixed messages about consent, communication, and responsibility in both digital and offline spaces.
Consent in Practice exists to address these realities with clarity, nuance, and practical guidance.
