In school communications and displays it is important to disseminate the commitment to promoting equality. Tackling discrimination and harassment should be clearly outlined in its mission statement and aims and flow through the school’s policies and procedures.
To that effect: -Policies and procedures should be kept up-to-date and shared on the school website and in communications with parents and carers. -Pupil-friendly versions of policies can also be created, shared with the young people and displayed around the school. -It is important to consider language and imagery used in communications and displays and the messages that this sends.
When organising educational visits, the following questions may be useful prompts: -Are there any exhibitions or events that cover the chosen topic but in a more diverse and representative way? -Do exhibitions include a diverse range of stories and contributors? If not, can this be highlighted as a discussion point or learning opportunity?
When inviting external visitors into the school, the following considerations should be made: -Are a diverse range of guest speakers regularly invited into school? Do they represent different genders, as well as different cultures, religions and nationalities? Can this opportunity be used to challenge gender stereotypes? -Are exhibiting staff who attend school careers fairs representative of a diverse range of backgrounds?
In school playgrounds and outside spaces, young people should feel safe and protected from sexism and sexual harassment wherever they are in the school. It can be useful to work with young people to find out where bullying or harassment may be more likely to take place, and what could be implemented to make these areas safer.
This can be done by organising a walk around the school with a small group of young people or by conducting surveys and focus groups. Some potential initiatives or solutions that could be implemented include: -Safe zones, like a classroom or outside area which is always supervised by someone young people can talk to and report their concerns or concrete situations of fear and discrimination behaviors/occurences. -Making the school community aware of these designated spaces, which not only provides a clear message to those who may need to access support, but to the whole community that sexism, sexual harassment and all other forms of bullying are not acceptable, and that the school is working to eradicate them.
