Improving Gender Balance and Equalities (IGBE) resources can be found here .

These help to:

• challenge gender stereotypes;
• address unconscious bias;
• improve gender balance in subject uptake and learner pathways;
• promote whole-establishment approaches to equality.

WHY?
Children receive and absorb gender stereotyped  messages about what they can and cannot do as a girl or as a boy from a very early age. Research strongly suggests that there is no inherent difference between girls and boys which should limit their interests, capabilities or ambitions. And yet,  subject choice, and many subsequent work and life choices, are highly gendered.By reflecting and making small adjustments to everyday practice we can start to make a difference in providing equality of opportunity.
