Consent is an agreement to engage in an activity; it occurs when you ask, or give, permission to do something.
It must be clear, given freely without pressure and the person giving consent must be alert and able to clearly express themselves. Consent is an ongoing process and a person has a right to change their mind about consent at any time.
