NEU National CPD

Empowering girls to take action against sexism and sexual harassment

This session will explore why action is needed to empower girls, what students should be able to expect from their school as part of a whole school approach, why student‑led initiatives are essential, and educators can meaningfully support and sustain student action. 

Sexism and sexual harassment in education is a national crisis, and empowering girls to take action is a vital part of any whole school approach. This session will examine why action is needed, what students should be able to expect from their school, and why student‑led initiatives are essential - with a core focus on the practical steps staff can take to meaningfully support and sustain this work.

This interactive session will consider:

  • What’s the problem and why is action needed to empower girls?
  • What students should be able to expect from their school as part of a whole school approach
  • Why student-led action and student-initiated action is so important and how to support it 

Suitable for: Teachers, teaching assistants, supply, leaders, pastoral, primary to Post-16
