Join this event to explore the newly-released findings from a UKRI-funded project (re-)imagining the relationship between schools and the police in preventing and responding to harmful sexual behaviours in schools.
A rights-based approach to reframing and reducing harmful sexual behaviours and cultures in schools
19 Mar 2024, 10:30 – 13:30
The project team will present a comprehensive guidance document and evidence-based approach to prevent harmful sexual behaviours and cultures in schools.
This new research explores the relationship between schools and police and young people in the current crisis of rising levels of sexual violence in society, with practice-based recommendations for addressing sexual harassment and online misogyny.
The researchers will discuss, for example, the strategies they have organised around 'calling boys in' to conversations around sexual violence, rather than shaming them and creating further anxiety and defensiveness.
