What Does Consent Really Mean?

The comic book story is accompanied by sexual health resources for students and teachers including PSHE practitioners and international equivalents.
What Have I Done?
This workbook is a practical guide to victim empathy work with young people who have offended, and can be used in an individual case-work setting or as a groupwork programme. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable for use with young people of differing ages, offences, backgrounds and abilities. It recognizes that young people who offend have often experienced victimization themselves, and brings this into a number of the exercises. The course is designed for use with any type of offending where it is possible to identify a person or people who were affected.
The Pocket Guide to Restorative Justice
This pocket-sized guide can be taken conveniently to meetings, interviews and visits, to be used as a quick reference point for information about the practical application of restorative justice. The book covers every stage of the process, from how a facilitator should prepare for taking on a new case, through initial contacts with victim and offender and facilitating meetings, to recording and evaluating a case. While acknowledging throughout the different possible ways of proceeding, the authors provide example prompts for steps such as writing to a victim for the first time, talking to the victim and offender ahead of their meeting, and initiating meetings. They use jargon-free language and provide helpful task checklists for speed and ease of reference. This is an invaluable companion for youth offending team workers, probation officers, prison staff, police, referral order volunteers, mediators and any professional needing to know about restorative justice.
Talking Consent
This book provides teachers and parents with the 'need-to-knows' to educate groups of young people about consent, pornography, sexting and many other related topics, as well as giving them the tools to ward themselves against abusive behaviour. Initiating a discussion with young people on topics around sex can seem daunting, but Talking Consent is full of lesson plans, workshops and creative ideas for introducing and promoting constructive discussions around these areas - while also dispelling common myths, and giving appropriate answers to difficult questions that may arise from these discussions. Inclusive of everybody, including the LGBT+ community and people with disabilities, this book will provide professionals with the information they need to spark and shape conversation around these complex issues in an assured way.
Understanding Restorative Justice
This unique book is a clear and detailed introduction that analyses how restorative justice nurtures empathy, exploring key themes such as responsibility, shame, forgiveness and closure. The core notion of the book is that when a crime is committed, it separates people, creating a ‘gap’. This can only be reduced or closed through information and insight about the other person, which have the potential to elicit empathy and compassion from both sides. The book explores this extraordinary journey from harm to healing using the structure of a timeline: from an offence, through the criminal justice process and into the heart of the restorative meeting. Using case studies, the book offers a fresh angle on a topic that is of growing interest both in the UK and internationally. It is ideal as a comprehensive introduction for those new to restorative justice and as a best practice guide for existing practitioners.

An aging Indiana Jones is hired by a preppy corporate lawyer to find her sister's killer. They have a history these two: utter contempt can best describe her feelings towards him; animal lust his feelings towards her; a thorny relationship that endures right up until the dark and evil conclusion of this on again, off again, investigation.
