A question for every secondary school leader reading this. Who is currently teaching your boys what it means to be a man?
Because somebody is. Nightly, on their phones, for free.
Dan Allchurch runs Talk Consent, the UK’s largest provider of in-school s*x education, working with over 700 schools and 350,000 young people to prevent misogyny and s*xual harm. He’s part of our Boys’ Conference on 18 November because a day about aspiration that ignores this is a day that’s ducked it.
If your school is already having this conversation in SLT meetings, this is the trip that gives you somewhere to put it.
Send this to your head or your safeguarding lead.
