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.’ The seriousness and scale of the issue was further highlighted in responses to a survey undertaken by NASUWT which found that most female staff face misogyny in the classroom.

Designed for leaders of Behaviour, RSE, PHSE, DEI, Safeguarding and School Ethos and Culture, this programme 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.
