FAQs

Our talks are a great way to get a lot of information across to a large number of pupils. Talks can be delivered to up to 200 pupils at a time and we often recommend working with smaller groups of up to 100 pupils that allow the talks to be more interactive.

Our workshops are for smaller groups of 30-35 pupils. These workshops are about creating space for discussion between pupils and providing plenty of opportunity for pupils to ask our facilitators questions in a safe and open environment.

We recommend that all pupils receiving a workshop have a talk beforehand that introduces them to key ideas before space for discussion (you can see a sample structure of a talk and workshop day at the bottom of this page).

Bold Voices is committed to preparing and empowering young people to recognise and tackle gender inequality and cultures of gender-based violence. To do this, we deliver education through talks, workshops, online resources and we support staff, parents and carers to have conversations about these issues with young people.

Bold Voices has a duty of care and will do everything it can to provide a space for pupils that is open, supportive and safeguarded whilst they are engaged in Bold Voices activities.

The purpose of our safeguarding policy is to provide a framework that ensures any associated procedures and training comply with statutory requirements and reflects available guidance on good practice in safeguarding young people, and that safeguarding arrangements are proportionate to the risks involved.

In co-ed settings we almost always run mixed workshops so that discussions reflect perspectives across genders.

Mentors are pupils who attend a 3 hour training workshop with us, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to work alongside younger pupils during Bold Voices workshops. Find out more info here.

Staff training is a great place to start.

Our staff training sessions equip your staff with knowledge about what gender inequality and gender-based violence looks like for young people today and tools to ‘call in’ and ‘call out’ these issues around school. With a single session, our staff training supports a change in culture across the school.
