Gender Action: Champion
Six areas of change
The Champion documents detail six areas of nursery/school life.
These documents have been developed together with experts in education and gender equality issues. They detail what ‘good’ looks like in each area, some ideas to get you started, and the types of evidence you could submit to display the impact you have had.
It’s crucial that projects in school are not isolated - they need to start conversations and be designed to lead to change across the school.
You can download the infographic above to pass on to colleagues; it details the six Champion areas on one sheet.
We expect these documents to grow as we develop the programme.
The submission for Champion Award is open to all schools who have achieved Initiator level.
It is in two parts:
A commentary on progress on the Initiator Action plan including evidence.
An Action Plan (AP) covering all 6 Focus Areas (FA). For the 2 FAs that were used for Initiator, the same actions can be used although, normally the situation will have changed sufficiently that schools will wish to modify them. As for Initiator, there should be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 actions for each Focus Area.
Once you have completed your Action Plan, please submit it to us at: info@genderaction.co.uk
Champion Level Accreditation cost per setting size:
There is currently no accreditation cost to schools.
Committing to this level gives: access to 6 hours of whole-school training to ensure all staff are on board with Gender Action and agree further areas for Champion status; access to 6 hours of support from the Gender Action team to help further progress your Action Plan; submission of your Action Plan for assessment.
