The Mallee Family Care Community Legal Centre has developed two friendly and easy to follow videos for teens with an intellectual disability or on the Autism spectrum, on the topics of sexual consent and sexting.
There is an accompanying fact sheet for each topic which will assist teachers, parents & carers and wellbeing staff with further information about the topics. We have also produced a postcard on each topic with the important points to remember.
Our aim is empower young people with legal knowledge to improve decision making and reduce their risk of becoming victims or breaking the law. As a result this will empower them with the knowledge to improve decision making, make informed decisions about sexual consent, reduce legal intervention and presentation at sexual assault services.
The videos may not be appropriate for all young people, however teachers, carers and parents will recognise when their teens are exploring relationships and sexuality and these tools may help to assist young people to understand the laws and promote further discussion.
The terms used in the videos have been at the suggestion of teachers/support staff who work with young people in the target audience.
