28. Consent The legal age for all young people to consent to have sex is still 16, regardless of sexual orientation. The aim of the law is to protect the rights and interests of young people, and make it easier to prosecute people who pressure or force others into having sex they don’t want.

29. Young People between 13 and 16 The Sexual Offences Act 2003 reinforces that, whilst mutually agreed, non-exploitative sexual activity between teenagers does take place and that often no harm comes from it, the age of consent should still remain at 16. This acknowledges that this group of young people are still vulnerable, even when they do not view themselves as such.

30. Young People under the Age of 13 Young people under the age of 13 are deemed unable to give consent to sexual activity. ‘Working Together’ makes it clear that cases involving under 13 year olds who are either having penetrative sex, or are engaged in other intimate sexual activity are likely to involve significant harm to the child or children.
