Description:
The DCSF set up the Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) Advisory Group in July 2009. Its key role is to provide advice to Ministers on how schools can most effectively tackle the issue of violence against women and girls, as part of the development of the cross government VAWG Strategy.
Over the last six months, the Group has considered how current strands of DCSF work with schools, which have the potential to impact on the violence against girls and women agenda, can be most effectively harnessed to maximise impact. The Group considered specific issues (e.g. pornography), evidence of the effectiveness of previous interventions in schools, and policy developments (e.g. the new Sex and Relationships Guidance for schools).
This document provides the Government’s responses to the key recommendations in the main report from the Advisory Group.
