Perpetually Vigilant

Two decades ago, “Genderwatch” emerged as a beacon of guidance for educators and school leaders navigating the murky waters of discriminatory practices within educational settings. Now, with the dawn of the Gender Equality Duty legislation in 2007, a reimagined edition of this seminal work resurfaces to empower the same professional cohort. While the tides of time have shifted, disparities in children’s educational journeys persist, shaped by their diverse identities and backgrounds.

With a keen focus on gender dynamics and an unwavering commitment to inclusivity, “Genderwatch: Still Watching…” remains steadfast in its mission. Within its pages, a compendium of 60 meticulously crafted schedules traverses every facet of school life, spanning from early childhood education to secondary schooling. These schedules delve into pressing issues such as legislative mandates, leadership imperatives, inclusive practices, and equitable curriculum development.

Each schedule within this comprehensive handbook serves as a roadmap for schools, guiding them through the labyrinth of gender equality challenges. From conducting practice reviews to addressing inequalities and monitoring outcomes, “Genderwatch: Still Watching…” equips educational stakeholders with the tools needed to fulfill their statutory obligations and foster an environment of equal opportunity.

Essential reading for educators, administrators, support staff, and policymakers alike, “Genderwatch: Still Watching…” transcends its role as a mere resource—it emerges as a beacon of hope for those committed to fostering a culture of equity and inclusivity within educational institutions.
