NO PRESSURE. CLEAR BOUNDARIES
Healthy relationships involve respect, freely made choices and space to change your mind. Pressure, fear or being unable to choose freely are not a basis for consent. Never pressure someone to share intimate images or take part in sexual activity.
AGE AND CIRCUMSTANCES MATTER
The law includes age-specific protections and rules about sexual activity, images and positions of trust. This pre-launch draft does not provide an individual legal assessment. Use the official sources and seek qualified advice. Do not share intimate images through RWM.
YOU CAN ASK FOR SUPPORT
If someone has ignored your boundaries, pressured you or shared something private, you deserve support. Speak to a trusted safeguarding professional, a health service or Childline if you are under 19. You do not need to give traumatic details here. Immediate danger: call 999.
