Clarify movement, relaxation or equipment suitability · S12.12

Ask for consent before guiding someone's movement

You are considering a shared movement or body-focused activity.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Ask whether the person wants the activity and what format suits them.
2. Explain what is proposed and make adaptation, passing, and stopping clear.
3. Follow their choice without touch, correction, or pressure they have not agreed to.

An example

Would you like to join this familiar activity, adapt it, or sit it out?

Reflect

Was the choice genuine throughout the activity?

Next time

Ask again when the activity changes.
