STAFF TRAINING: MODEL THE CHALLENGE

DELIVERING EDUCATION ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

This training supports staff to understand the behaviours and cultures that lead to gender-based violence and to develop skills to support them in feeling more comfortable challenging language, attitudes and behaviours around school.

  • Model the Challenge can be delivered as:

    Knowledge Building & Skills Intro

    • Define gender inequality and gender-based violence and understand how young people are experiencing it through statistics and testimonies.

    • Introduce the concept of a 'culture of gender-based violence' and the understanding that language, norms, stereotypes, actions and beliefs can create a specific culture that leads to sexual harassment and sexual violence.

    • Introduce staff to the 'call in, call out' method of challenge and situate this within need to instil a culture of challenge across the whole school community.

  • 1 hr 30 | Up to 30 Participants per workshop | In Person or Virtual Delivery

    Working in smaller groups, staff will have the opportunity to develop and practice the challenge skills introduced in the initial training, and hold reflective discussions about gender-based violence in their own school community.

    Staff will discuss barriers to challenging, consider how we challenge within the staff body, and learn tips and ideas for how to set up space for preventative conversations and embed an awareness of these topics within their own teaching.

    Staff will have the opportunity to discuss scenarios and the responses they may take to create this culture of challenge and inclusion within the school.
