The Department needs to consider that because active consent includes every single child in the school. It is a matter of having the conversations with the parents as well, which is really important.

On funding, Donegal Rape Crisis Centre was doing active consent training in some schools for a year but could not roll it out to other schools. The younger we can reach the children – at 15 or 16, for example – the better for them in university, etc.
