What is Respect: consent, boundaries and being in charge of you about?

Everyone has the right to feel safe, respected and in charge of their own body. This lively, illustrated guide explains consent, personal space and boundaries in clear, friendly language. Children learn how to say yes or no, listen to other people’s choices, recognise when someone feels uncomfortable and respond helpfully. With practical examples, humour and encouraging advice, it shows that consent matters in everyday situations, from hugs and high-fives to sharing space, making choices and standing up for others.
