Brighton and Hove Albion giving young
players sexual consent training
Young footballers at the English
Championship club Brighton and
Hove Albion are being trained in
the law and ethics surrounding
sexual consent.
The club is the first to provide the
training and counselling to all its
young male and female players.
In 2013 four current and former
Brighton players were cleared of
sexual assault charges at the Old
Bailey.
The Protect, Inform and Prevent
(PIP) programme aims to explain

when, in law, consent can be said
to have been given.
It involves players taking part
in confidential question and
answer sessions about their
previous encounters and is led by
a former police detective and a
psychotherapist.
The Brighton players were all
found not guilty in May 2013 of
sexually assaulting a 19-year-old
woman at a hotel in Brighton.
They were also cleared of
voyeurism.
