Beat Toxic Masculinities

 

Meet the new September 2026 statutory guidance requiring schools to tackle misogyny and harmful online influences. Three evidence-based sessions that help boys aged 11-17 explore healthy masculinity, respectful relationships, and emotional literacy through content they actually engage with.

Aligned with PSHE statutory guidance, the programme supports safeguarding and VAWG priorities without requiring specialist training.

The Problem

Harmful Online Influences

Rising Peer-on-Peer Harm

Boys are increasingly exposed to online content promoting harmful ideas about masculinity, dominance, and emotional suppression. Manosphere influencers normalise misogyny and coercive behaviour as "strong" masculinity.

Schools and youth settings report increasing misogynistic language, peer-on-peer harm, and emotionally closed behaviour in boys. The 2026 statutory guidance makes addressing this mandatory.

Many young people are unsure what healthy masculinity looks like in friendships, relationships, and online spaces. Without clear frameworks, harmful models fill the gap.

Teachers and youth workers face growing pressure to address these issues without sufficient time, training, or ready-to-run resources that don't stigmatise boys.
