Our consent model is the READY model, which works with gauging readiness and consent.

READY is a Revocable, Engaged, Aware, Detailed Yes. Consent is mandatory. Always.

  • R – Revocable

    • Can I revoke my consent? Am I okay with someone else revoking their consent?

    • If there is not safety to change your mind, you can not give consent.

  • E – Engaged

    • Are all parties engaged about this?

    • Hesitation, doubt, and coercion are not consent.

  • A – Aware

    • Are we all aware? Is everyone sober? Are we aware of our own risk-profiles?

    • Sleeping and any substance use eliminate your ability to give consent.

  • D – Detailed

    • Did we come to an agreement on the specific details? Were risk-profiles discussed?

    • You have to know the details of what you are consenting to in order to give consent.

  • Y – Yes

    • Do we each want to say yes? Is there safety to say no?

    • Anything other than a yes, is an automatic no.

**If there is not safety in saying "no", consent can not be given. If the answer to any of the above questions is no, you can not give or get consent.
