Consent is for Everyone Online Campaign – Active* Consent
IADT’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager Claire McGing spoke about the campaign, “IADT is delighted to support Active* Consent’s “Consent is for Everyone” campaign. The campaign marks another important step in tackling sexual harassment and violence in higher education in Ireland. We all know that sexual violence and harassment is not confined to our sector but, instead, affects every part of society. However, we also know and recognise that higher education institutions are uniquely placed to address this harmful behaviour. Raising awareness with our students is essential to promote an understanding of sexual consent and the skills for speaking up and calling out unacceptable behaviour. The Institute’s involvement in the “Consent is for Everyone” campaign builds on our positive and established relationship with the Active* Consent team at Galway University, notably through the “Moving Parts” animation campaign.”
