With changes to the new RSE guidance coming into effect from September 2026, schools are being asked to do more to address misogyny and harmful narratives young people are being exposed to. Join JWA to explore how school leaders and staff can challenge a harmful culture and foster a whole school approach to promoting respect, equality and healthy relationships.

Webinar 1 

This webinar will look at how schools effectively address these issues and equip young people to critically engage with the content they encounter, while helping to prevent harmful beliefs from taking root.

This webinar is designed for all school staff not just those teaching PSHE. Whether you are a form teacher, pastoral lead or member of the senior leadership team, this session will help you understand the online influences shaping young people’s attitudes and provide practical strategies for responding to misogynistic comments, challenging harmful narratives and harnessing a positive school culture.

Webinar 2

This webinar is an interactive follow up workshop for those who attended Webinar 1 in June or September, to build on the knowledge and themes explored in the previous webinar, moving beyond understanding the issue to focus on practical action. Together, we will explore how schools and youth settings can effectively engage young people in conversations about gender, relationships, respect and healthy masculinity.

The session will provide practical tools, activities and strategies that can be adapted for use with young people, helping staff to challenge harmful attitudes, create meaningful dialogue and respond confidently to issues linked to misogyny and online influences. There will also be opportunities to reflect on current challenges, share good practice and consider how this work can be embedded within a wider whole-school approach.
