Consent: what does ‘agreeing to tech’ really mean?

This webinar explored how to ensure the use of care technology is based on genuine consent, not pressure. The discussion emphasised that consent must be ongoing, informed, and revisited over time. Speakers also warned against “consent by duress”, where people feel they must accept technology to stay safe or receive support. Conversations should be open and transparent, with people able to understand both benefits and limits.
