Why a Whole-School Approach Matters

PSC_Training — 2025-10-21 15:29:48 UTC

A whole-school framework integrates VAWG prevention into curriculum, culture, and policies. It addresses root causes like gender stereotypes and empowers staff, pupils, and communities to respond effectively.

White Ribbon Day and an overview of VWAG prevention

PSC_Training — 2025-10-21 15:47:37 UTC

White Ribbon Day (25 November) is a global movement to end violence against women and girls (VAWG). Research and evidence shows that girls face high levels of harassment, online abuse, and fear in everyday spaces.

A whole-school approach helps schools move beyond one-off events to embed lasting change through leadership, curriculum, culture, and pupil voice.

Use local and national data to understand the scale and impact of VAWG. Use pupil surveys, safeguarding audits, and feedback tools to shape the curriculum and monitor progress.
