Thursday 12th May 2022
To book a place e-mail: bookings@decsy.org.uk
Cost: £60 for Part 1 and Part 2

Educational institutions are recognising the need to take issues of gender injustice much more seriously in the wake of the Ofsted Review of sexual abuse, the new safeguarding duties around sexual harassment in the 2021 Ofsted Inspection Handbook, the raised profile of women’s safety following recent murders and the testimony of tens of thousands of girls and women at schools and colleges about rape culture on the ‘Everyone’s Invited’ website. DECSY and Gender Action have considerable experience in working with issues of gender equality and education.  Course Aims:
• To look at issues around gender, society and power and how these relate to schools (issues such as gender stereotyping, sexual harassment, sexist language and subject choices). 
• To look at ways that schools can improve gender equality, including through the curriculum and how to ensure a whole-school approach.

‘Really recommend this training, great for practitioners to have their eyes opened to things 
that we wouldn't have been aware of otherwise.’
