Consent Coalition (Nottingham)

In February 2020 Nottingham launched the Consent Coalition. The Consent Coalition is a group of organisations who are working together to raise awareness of the importance of consent, banish myths about rape and sexual violence and encourage survivors to access support and report any sexual violence. Over 22 organisations currently support the Consent Coalition and in March 2021 Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust also joined the coalition.

The Consent Coalition is now nationally recognised as a best practice model of coordinated partnership work and the approach taken in Nottingham has set a precedent for other cities on how to successfully tackle sexual violence.

The Consent Coalition has created a number of sexual violence resources, including the #GetConsent campaign and the “Your Journey – sexual violence – a guide to support and reporting” booklet. The Your Journey booklet provides information on:

• the organisations who provide specialist sexual violence support in Nottingham
• individual choices and options
• what your ISVA can offer
• a step-by-step guide on reporting to the police
• the SARC and forensic medical examination process
• how the police will investigate the criminal case
• a guide to the criminal justice process, including going to court and giving evidence

The Your Journey booklet can be downloaded on this page or directly from the Consent Coalition website. This can be used by anyone, but the pathway in the booklet is for Nottingham/Nottinghamshire only.
