Tackling sexualised behaviours

About this course

In the last 5 years there has been a significant rise in polarised and extreme views around gender, gender stereotypes and ‘acceptable’ attitudes and behaviours.

Serious crimes, the Everyone’s Invited findings, prosecution for open misogyny online and the implications of equality legislation all demonstrate the need for opportunities to challenge harmful narratives and behaviours.

This course will support PSHE and Pastoral/Behaviour leads to utilise the curriculum and guidance to challenge hidden and overt sexualised behaviour, on and offline.
