Consultation on The Victim’s Code

The Ministry of Justice are currently consulting on The Victim’s Code. The Code sets clear and deliverable minimum standards, to ensure that victims and survivors get the support and information they need.

The Code is really important to victims-survivors of sexual violence, who might access the Criminal Justice System, now or in the future.

You can find out more and take part in the consultation on the Ministry of Justice website.
This consultation closes 30/04/2026.

Review on how we support young people with sexual health information and healthy relationship guidance.

Nottingham City Council is reviewing how we support young people with sexual health information, access to condoms, healthy relationships guidance, and the C Card programme. They want to ensure their services are youth friendly, accessible, and shaped by real experiences of young people.

They are seeking feedback from young people aged 16–25 who live, work or study in Nottingham City. Your views will help them understand the current situation and how best to support young people’s sexual health needs in the future.

Growing up in an Online World: National Consultation

The government are holding a national consultation on measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as gaming sites and AI chatbots, restrictions on addictive design features and risky functionalities, and better support for parents and families.

This consultation looks at things not covered in the Online Safety Act 2023, such as:

setting a minimum age for children to access social media – and what age would be right
restricting risky functionalities and design features that encourage excessive use, such as infinite scrolling and autoplay
whether the digital age of consent should be raised
better support for parents, including clearer guidance and simpler parental controls

You can find out more and complete the consultation on the government website.

This consultation closes 26/05/2026.
