Kingston and Richmond Youth Voice Podcast have produced 2 podcasts on the topic of 'Redefining Masculinity' which explore Masculinity and what is is to be male in the modern word.
Internet Matters have also produced guidance for parents and carers around tackling misogyny online. Please share this guidance with parents and carers in your school community if you feel that this is appropriate.
Here is the link to the survey to be completed at or following your session. This is very important to have your discussions heard within the partnership and to allow partners to act upon children and young people's views. There is also a box at the bottom of each survey for school staff to highlight any issues that they would like the partnership to know about.
This survey will stay active until Friday 18th July 2025. Please note that the term may end before this date for some schools so please ensure that you have submitted this before then.
