Teachers to be trained to tackle misogyny and 'toxic ideas' among boys
The UK government’s £20 million strategy includes training teachers to tackle misogyny and aims to halve violence against women and girls within 10 years, officials said.
- On Thursday the Home Office announced teachers and school staff will get specialist training on consent and intimate image dangers, part of a £20m package to halve violence against women and girls.
- Research shows the government says the plan targets preventing radicalisation of young men by tackling early misogyny, citing government research and polls on Andrew Tate's influence and nearly 40% of teenagers in abusive relationships.
- The government will fund £4m, selecting pilot schools to test approaches backed by research, with all secondary schools in England required to teach about healthy relationships by 2029.
- Over the past year, a new online helpline will give teenagers help with relationship concerns, specialist investigators are being introduced to every police force, and councils receive £19m for safe housing.
- Some school leaders welcomed the move, with Principal Sukhjot Dhami saying schools already deliver similar work, but Dame Nicole Jacobs warned it does not go far enough and investment falls short.
