The Age Of Consent for the whole of the United Kingdom is now 16. Northern Ireland has brought the age down one year from 17 to be in line with the rest of the UK. This goes for both heterosexual and homosexual sex.

There are limitations that should be taken into consideration like :- Any person having sex must not be in a position of trust over the younger person, a teacher, guardian etc. If the younger person has a mental disability that puts them younger than their actual years, they must not be taken advantage over.
