Educational institutions are recognising the need to take issues of gender injustice much more seriously in the wake of the Ofsted Review of sexual abuse in June, the new safeguarding duties around sexual harassment in the Ofsted Inspection Handbook of September 2021, the raised profile of the women’s safety following recent murders and the testimony of tens of thousands of girls and women at schools and colleges about rape culture on the ‘Everyone’s Invited’ website. DECSY and Gender Action have considerable experience in working with issues of gender equality and education. 

Online Course Aims
