Safeguarding Scenario: Online Safety (Misogyny)

Train staff on protecting pupils from harm online, including where misogyny occurs. Included in this download is one fictional safeguarding scenario where a male pupil begins to express they want to be just a like an influencer they follow on social media but the views the pupil is expressing are prejudiced against girls and women. The scenario is more suitable for secondary settings, but could be used by primaries where discussing year 5/6 pupils.

Also included is a guided walkthrough for the DSL or safeguarding training lead which lets you check whether staff can spot the signs of misogyny and prejudice as well as ensuring staff know how to respond, report and record effectively. It's ideal to use as a discussion point in a staff meeting or INSET. It can also be used in response to safeguarding trends or concerns in your setting to build staff understanding of keeping children safe.

Fully aligned to KCSIE 2024, this scenario is also available as part of the Safeguarding Training Pack - Autumn Term.
