Misogyny starts small. It spreads fast.
Comments. Jokes. Silence. Left unchecked, they become normal.
Staff see it happen and may step in, but without a consistent approach, the behaviour keeps repeating and patterns become entrenched.
Students notice what is ignored and staff become unsure how to respond when approaches are inconsistent, and over time they mirror what is tolerated, justify it, and pass it on.
What’s needed is a clear system that gives staff the confidence to respond consistently and creates a safer environment where students understand what is expected of them and what will not be tolerated.
Our Structured Framework
A strategic, repeatable approach that guides students, staff, and leadership through awareness, challenge, responsibility, and culture
How we work with schools
We take this framework and apply it through a structured four-phase approach that works across students, staff, and leadership
standalone insight into current attitudes, language, and peer culture.
Diagnostic Insight
small group, structured sessions on behaviour, identity, and responsibility.
Targeted Cohort
structured sessions introducing boys to respect, language, and influence.
Framework Introduction (Assemblies)
larger scale, year group or whole-school delivery to embed cultural change.
Whole Environment Delivery
Impact You Can See
Every engagement begins with reflection and ends with evaluation, giving staff and leadership a clear picture of what has shifted in language, attitudes, and behaviour, not just what sessions were delivered.

What has been said about us
"Working with Minds Together has been transformative for our school. Their tailored workshops have been invaluable and the students really took lots away."
Headmaster, Alistair Lyttle
"Minds Together's session on misogyny was fantastic. There were times my mouth was wide open as their examples and data shocked even me. The boys left this session more informed of their decisions than they were when they walked in. Great session, I highly recommend."
Educational Leader George Langley
"We are grateful for the support of Minds Together. The workshops were thought provoking and held a mirror up to the boys. The room that began with giggles ended with focused, reflective faces."
