A trust wide approach to preventing violence against women and girls

Preventing violence against women and girls requires a culture change within our school communities to address the root causes of men’s violence against women - harmful attitudes, behaviours and expressions of masculinity. In this workshop, we hear how one trust has established an initial three-year strategy to tackle this issue at all levels across its schools including culture, curriculum, systems and behaviours. We'll look at what this means for staff at the trust, especially male leaders and role models, and explore how being the first school trust to achieve White Ribbon accreditation has helped shape and support this work. You will gain insights into how and why the trust is taking this approach, hear about the impact of this work to-date and gain practical ideas to take back to your colleagues.
