Points to note from the session
Consent is a thing that is freely given, it should not be manipulated.
It can be reversible, that is, you can give consent and withdraw it at any time.
It should be informed. When consent is given, you should be clear on to what extent the consent is given.
It should be enthusiastic. Do not go beyond what you are asked to do, always wait for the next consent before going further.
It should be specific.
