Training Overview:

The last year has seen an increased focus on and awareness of peer on peer sexual harassment and abuse in schools. We have heard the experiences of young people on the website ‘Everyone’s Invited’ and in the OFSTED Review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges. Evidence supports taking a whole school approach to tackling sexual harassment and sexual abuse so in this session we will be looking at a draft action plan for schools to make sure good practice and provision is in place.
