Misogyny is a significant threat to equality and the wellbeing of girls and boys in many schools today. What’s more, most female staff have faced misogyny is schools (NASUWT survey).

During a recent parliamentary debate, MPs acknowledged that ‘Misogyny is developing at a rapid rate in our classrooms’ and that ‘teachers do not have the training to deal with the problem’. Genuine concern was raised that, without proper training, some might treat it as ‘general behaviour and are likely to ignore the situation for fear of saying the wrong thing.’

This course aims to address this lack of training.

Designed for leaders of Behaviour, RSE, PHSE, DEI, Safeguarding and School Ethos and Culture, this course raises awareness of relevant protective legislation, effective policy and procedure and provides an overview of a range of proven strategies that can rapidly address misogynistic behaviours.

What does this course cover?

• DEI Context: Social Media Impact and Influencers.
• Building a Curriculum and Implementing Policy and Procedure to Help Protect Boys and Girls from Misogyny: Exploring how your RSE and PSHE policy and curriculum can help tackle misogyny.
• Strategies to Tackle Misogyny: Supporting staff confidence to report/track/address misogynistic behaviours and clarify the links between safeguarding and misogyny.

Dr Jo Trevenna has over 20 years' experience of educational leadership from early years to post-graduate level. Her ongoing academic interests centre on Leadership and EDI.
