Protecting your child from a life-changing event: Brent Sanders Pt. 2

Most sexual assaults aren't committed by strangers. They're committed by someone in the victim-survivor's own social group.

Former cop turned safety educator Brent Sanders sits down with Gary Jubelin to go deeper on prevention, how consent actually works under the law when alcohol is involved, why bystander intervention matters, and what workplaces still get wrong about harassment.

Drawing on 30 years teaching students across Australia, Brent breaks down his Year 9 to Year 12 approach in plain language: choice and consequence, phones and sexting laws, the legal test for when a drunk person can't consent, and the story of the Year 12 boy who stopped an assault at a party without throwing a punch.

In this episode:

• Why it's almost always someone in the social group, not a stranger
• The legal test for consent and alcohol — explained like RSA at a pub
• What happens when both people are drunk, and who the law looks at
• How to step in as a bystander without making it a fight
• Romeo and Juliet law, sexting, AI images and what Year 10s need to know
• From schools to workplaces: harassment, positive duty and Christmas parties.
