CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE BRIGHTON are providing their young players with training on the issues surrounding sexual consent.
According to the BBC, both male and female players have taken part in ‘confidential question and answer sessions’ as part of the programme – overseen by a former police detective and a psychotherapist.
It’s the first time a club has provided such a platform and is part of the Protect, Inform and Prevent programme which serves to highlight when consent is perceived as having been legally given.
It follows the well-documented Ched Evans case and its fall-out. The former Sheffield United striker was convicted of raping a 19 year-old woman at a hotel in Wales in May 2011 and served half of a five-year prison sentence.
