Understanding Age of Consent in Scotland and England

It reads: What is the age of consent in Scotland

different from

England?

Consent for what?

Okay, now the question actually is

to, to actually date someone. Guys, One House, this

covers everybody. To have a relationship with a girl.

Where am I getting this noise from?

Hello there. Jill?

Miss One House.

Sorry.

Thank you. Guys, the age of consent for a

relationship for intimacy in

Scotland and in England. Now, there are

two.

What is the one for Scotland?

Is it different from the one from England?

What is the age of consent for you to have a relatio...

Nobody says the answer. If you know it, just your hands up and they will pick.

What is the age for Scotland different from England?

So for you to have a girlfriend, a boyfriend, you see a s-

a twelve-year-old,

thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, before they turn

eighteen or nineteen and you see someone, what is the right age

to actually,

um, for a young person to be before you can

approach

them for anything sexual, intimacy

or relationship? What is the exact age?

Just if you know, please, let's...

Who? Um, Karen.

Talk.

Okay. Okay. Okay. No problem. No

problem.

Yeah.

So, okay, Karen, are you picking?

Do I

pick?

Someone, uh, pick, pick anybody.

Some... Okay.

Michelle picked that.

What age?

What, England? Eng-

Scotland.

In Scotland.

Scotland.

Eighteen.

Okay. Just, just leave that. What about, who?

Scotland.

Sixteen.

S-sixteen. What about you?

Sixteen.

Sixteen.

Sixteen, I think.

Sixteen in Scotland, different from England. So what

is England then?

Eighteen.

Sorry?

Eighteen.

Eighteen is in Scotland or England?

England.

England is eighteen.

And Scotland is sixteen. What about you?

Seventeen.

Seventeen in Scotland. Okay. We're getting any more answers?

Papa has an answer.

Yeah, what is

it?

Sixteen.

Sixteen.

Sixteen Scotland. Russ?

Sixteen Scotland.

Sixteen Scotland.

Okay, so we've got different ages.

I have a question for Papa.

No, no, no, not for Papa.

We've got, we've got different ages, guys.

So

we've got sixteen. One House, this is very

essential. One House, please.

Hey, please keep quiet.

Jill?

Please, this is very, very essential because we've had young

men,

you know, fall for these things that could be

preventable.

Let's know because it's quite a bit

different from Scotland and England.

Uh, sometime now fourteen years old, um, they do the job also by

delivering the papers.

So sometimes fourteen. Guys, One House, One House, One House.

So have you checked? Did you check for that?

Yes.

Okay. So now we have...

One House, please.

Hey, please keep quiet.

I don't want to see anybody on the TV, oh.

That and ignorance will not be an excuse, oh. So it's better you know.

The age, we've gotten seventeen, sixteen, and eighteen.

In England, correct is eighteen.

England is eighteen. But in Scotland,

it's sixteen.

So-

What is it?

Sorry?

What is it?

Sixteen years old-

For what?

-for consent.

Your age of consent.

No, no, no. It is sixteen years old.

The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen

in Scotland and even in England. What did I put in England?

Eighteen.

So you are learning something new. I used to think it was eighteen though.

The age applies to everyone regardless of gender,

identity, or sexual orientation.

However, specific legal nuances and

rules apply around this age limit.

So guys, we've got our answer. It's

sixteen years old for both England and Scotland. I see.

I thought it was eighteen for England. So we're all learning.

So please, if you see a young person, ask their age.

In fact, ask for your ID card. Don't be deceived.

We have young persons growing bigger than their age.

In fact, fourteen years, twelve years, they're taller than myself.

So don't be deceived by the size. Ask questions,

ask for their age before you go into any form of relationship,

sexual intimacy with anybody. Whether it is a boy or a girl,

it doesn't matter.

So we've got the answer from... Who gave us the first answer?

Uh, Michelle said that.

No, she said eighteen.

All right. Let's round of applause for this

gentleman, please. Round of applause.

R- Guys, let's clap for him.
