From September 2020 all schools across England were mandated to teach sex and relationship education including the very important topic of consent. However, there are many things that are supposed to be on the curriculum that aren’t. Laura puts forward her proposition that consent should be taught in schools, in conjunction with police to highlight the legal aspects young people need to know. Ndidi disagrees…
We are joined by Bradley O’Donoghue, a Volunteers Coordinator and Facilitator at Tender – an arts charity working with young people to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence. Jonny Uttley is our second guest – the CEO of The Education Alliance, an established Multi Academy Trust that is developing collaborative partnerships with academies across the Humber region. The group discuss the power of a pastoral environment in schools to make change, sexual harassment, and how we need to teach consent and relationships in an accessible and enjoyable way to not scare young people.
This week’s #AskYouth question is “Who do you think should teach consent to young people? Why?” We talk to three young people aged 20-24 to get their views.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
