LEGAL AID TASMANIA 

Stuart Davey from Legal Aid Tasmania visited Don College and presented information regarding a variety of ‘legal’ issues including consent, sexting and inappropriate texting and use of social media, and being party safe.

Along with the issues involved, Stuart also gave students some strategies as to what to do if they were ever in these situations.  For example, reporting an inappropriate picture or video to the social media site by using the report function, reporting and detailing inappropriate use to the e-safety commissioner.  He also spoke about ways to check in with your partner to ensure they are ok with what is happening between you.  A lot of media attention has surrounded consent in Australia, particularly over the last 6-12 months.  This is a critical aspect for all people in relationships.
