Schools & Colleges

Our vision is for every young person to be taught about public sexual harassment (PSH), its root causes and its impacts in school. We hope to raise a generation who are equipped to challenge harassment, oppression, and prejudice; to empathise with those who experience it; and who never become perpetrators of this everyday violence.

BOOK US FOR YOUR SCHOOL OR COLLEGE

We offer a range of staff trainings and students workshop to equip schools and colleges with the knowledge and skills to tackle sexual harassment. Our team has spent years

researching public sexual harassment, talking to young people about their experiences and understanding the complex barriers that exist for schools and colleges aiming to make change. We talk to young people using real experiences they can relate to and we give staff an insight into the issues their learners are likely facing. 

  • We offer workshops on sexual harassment to students from year 9 upwards. The timings can flex from 50-90 minutes long to suit your timetable and can each accommodate up to 30 students, delivered by 2 facilitators. We can work with an entire year group running one workshop after another one, or running up to three simultaneous workshops.

    The content slightly varies for different year groups, but in every workshop we aim to give students the space to understand and define sexual harassment, to consider its impacts and to understand their role in challenging harmful language and behaviour. 

  • Our staff sessions are designed to increase confidence from teaching staff in understanding, responding to and preventing public sexual harassment. We also provide free resources, including ready-made lesson plans, and training on how to use them. 

    We can deliver sessions for any number of teaching staff and can keep the content general for a whole staff session or tailored, e.g. to focus on safeguarding procedures for a pastoral team training. Our minimum session length is 1 hour, please refer to our flyer for the full list of content that we offer.
