About the Consent Coalition
Working together to raise awareness of consent and reduce sexual violence.
The Nottingham City Sexual Violence Action Network (SVAN) is made up of over 20 statutory and voluntary sector organisations, universities and charities. We are specialists in the sexual violence and violence against women and girls field. Together we ensure that Nottingham has an effective partnership response to sexual violence. Our work focuses on three key areas: prevention, education and awareness-raising.
The SVAN is governed by the Nottingham City Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse Strategy Group and the Nottingham Community Safety Partnership Board.
Consent Coalition
The Consent Coalition is the SVAN’s public facing brand. We create innovative campaigns, communications and resources.
