"It is giving children and young people autonomy over themselves, their bodies and their lives, in a safe, calm environment where questions can be asked, things can be explained and facts can dictate a lifetime of decisions." - Caitlin Moran View this email in your browser It's the legal case which just about everybody has an opinion on but our first piece today suggests one of the most important issues to come out of the Ched Evans case is the discussion around consent. It argues that despite having a legal system which requires that a perpetrator has a "reasonable belief" there was consent, many of our young people fail to have a good understanding of what that really means. And, we have a piece which warns that the recent Home Affairs Committee report on antisemitism could do more harm than good. It suggests it appeared more focused on the Chakrabarti Inquiry and the Labour Party than offering new recommendations.  Latest Articles     Parliament's flawed antisemitism report will do more harm than good   On Oct 18, 2016 11:34 am The report is divisive and flawed Read more... »   The Ched Evans case shows why we must start talking about consent   On Oct 18, 2016 10:15 am We have a weak understanding of consent and that impacts women's access to justice Read more... »   Opinion Former videos   The State of US-Europe Relations   On Oct 17, 2016 09:20 am Based on a recent simulation, the US and Americas Programme at Chatham House has found that Europe could have the soft power tools needed to avoid the outbreak of conflict in the Asia-Pacific region between continental neighbours Japan and China.
