Preventing sexism and sexual harassment toolkit
External practice
Duration
Ongoing
Partnership
this has been shared with schools and colleges and other trade unions both within and outside the education sector
Reason it was developed
Research carried out by the union which highlights high levels of sexism and sexual harassment in schools and colleges. Based on previous work reported here: https://neu.org.uk/advice/challenging-sexism-schools
Activities
Toolkit was produced which was launched nationally and is now being shared in our regions. The toolkit asks schools and colleges to pledge to tackle sexism and sexual harassment. It then provides resources and materials for leaders to take up these issues in their workplace.
Results
Key challenges are ensuing this is taken up by all schools and colleges and that it is implemented across the workplace not just seen as a tick box exercise.
