We are looking forward to welcoming back our Senior Phase Learners on Monday. As part of their induction they will be trained to become MVP Mentors.

Based on the ‘bystander’ approach MVP motivates everyone to get involved in safely challenging abuse. The programme sees students as a school’s greatest resource in achieving this and trains senior pupils to act as peer mentors who then deliver sessions to younger students in the school. Since 2014 more than 10,500 mentors have been trained, with around 3,500 sessions delivered by mentors in 2018/19. Sessions target issues such as bullying, gender norms, domestic violence, knife crime and harmful sexual behaviour.

Presenters across the two days induction include Medics Against Violence and Rape Crisis.
