Frequently Asked Questions.

What is Agreement F.I.R.S.T?

Agreement F.I.R.S.T is a consent card game for children created by Agreement Works to help normalise discussions around consent. Our goal is to make consent as second nature as brushing your teeth, wearing a seatbelt, or deciding what’s for dinner.

We work on the premise that consent is a life skill. This game brings joy to a conversation that can sometimes feel challenging. By collecting the key ingredients for clear, respectful agreements, players develop an understanding of key consent skills—because without agreement, there is no true consent.

Who is Agreement Works?

Agreement Works is a small Australian business dedicated to helping parents, caregivers, educators, schools, and—most importantly—children understand and practice consent in everyday life.

Why is learning about consent so important?

Understanding consent builds healthy relationships, personal boundaries, and mutual respect. Research shows that young people often learn through modelling behaviours. Helping young people, caregivers and educators—develop consent skills early can have lasting positive effects.

How does Agreement Works teach consent?

We use engaging, age-appropriate tools—including interactive workshops, educational resources, and games like Agreement F.I.R.S.T—to teach consent concepts in ways that are fun, accessible, safe, and easy to understand.

Who is Agreement Works for?

Agreement Works is for everyone. Whether you're a parent looking to introduce consent conversations at home, a caregiver supporting children's understanding, an educator seeking curriculum resources, or a government body in need of expert-led training, we offer tailored tools and guidance to meet your specific needs.

Is consent just about sexual relationships?

No! Consent applies to everyday interactions, from sharing toys and giving hugs to digital communication and workplace boundaries. Teaching consent early helps individuals to navigate all kinds of social situations with confidence and respect.

How can parents and caregivers introduce consent at home?

Parents and caregivers can start by modelling consent in everyday choices. For example: "Would you like to give Aunty Sue a kiss goodbye or would you rather wave?”.

Reading to children is also a great way to introduce concepts. Visit our website for a list of books. Our resources and games help families make consent conversations comfortable and natural. Through play-based learning and real-life examples, we make it easier for parents and caregivers to discuss consent in a relaxed, engaging way—without too much awkwardness.

When should children start learning about consent?

It’s never too early! Young children watch those around them modelling consent.  Young children can grasp simple concepts like asking before touching, respecting personal space, and understanding that “no” means “no.” As they grow, these early ‘lessons’ provide a strong foundation for more complex discussions.

We believe consent education should start early and be reinforced regularly.

Do you provide resources for schools and educators?

Yes! Agreement Works offers lesson plans, workshops, and professional training to help schools integrate consent education into their curriculum in a way that is both meaningful and engaging.
