Student lesson
Choice, Consent and Coercion
Coercion means pressure, threats or control that make it difficult or unsafe for someone to say no.
You will learn to
- Learn why saying yes does not always mean someone is freely choosing.
- Explain how consequences of refusal affect whether consent is free.
- Apply the concept to a new scenario.
Story context
Sarina’s and Abby’s stories introduce why a spoken ‘yes’ needs context; the assessment uses an unfamiliar case.
You do not need to own or have read the book. The lesson includes the context you need.
