Where is Consent set?
Consent explores how modern sexual expectations of teens can become distorted with access to online sexual content.
This Channel 4 drama is set in an elite private school in Wales.
The plot follows the fictional school as it opens its doors to female students – which includes scholarship pupil Natalie.
Things change for her when she meets fellow student Archie, who is described my Channel 4 as “rich, privileged and an academic high achiever”.
They form a bond, but at a party one night things change forever for the two teenagers.
Boundaries are crossed and the issue of “consent” is raised.
Although the plot is fictional, the drama is based on hundreds of real life testimonies of young people from both state and private school backgrounds.
Consent’s executive producer Aysha Rafaele told Channel 4: “School should be a safe, nurturing space – the statistics however suggest that too often it can be a very toxic environment.
“We hope our bold, authentic depiction of the teenage experience will resonate with many young people and will start a conversation about what kind of education a generation entirely permeated by a relentless online reality might actually need.”
