Skills for Capacity

Cwmni Addysg Rhyw can offer bespoke, one to one relationships and sex education for individuals whose capacity to consent to sexual activity is in question. 

Our highly experienced practitioners will work with individuals to cover the key areas of understanding which would be required to be able to consent to sexual activity.

• the mechanics of the sexual act and its character

• the reasonable foreseeable consequences of sexual intercourse – namely pregnancy

• they can say yes or no to having sexual relations and are able to decide whether to give or withhold consent

• that there are health risks involved in sexual relations ie have a basic knowledge of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). That sex can potentially make you unwell, and understand that these risks can be reduced by taking precautions such as condoms

• the other person must have the capacity to consent to the sexual activity and must consent before and throughout the sexual activity - if not, then this is committing rape or sexual assault.

Cwmni Addysg Rhyw work with the individual and supporting parties to assess and establish areas of priority need and can provide education around other areas such as healthy relationships, the Sexual Offences act or sexual health as required or appropriate.
