Plans for the Gender Action award, which aims to challenge stereotypes by putting gender equality at the heart of all aspects of life, were announced by London’s deputy mayor for education and childcare Joanne McCartney at an Equal Play event at City Hall.
The award has been developed by the Institute of Physics, King’s College London, UCL Institute of Education and the University Council of Modern Languages.
Schools, colleges and nurseries will be able to work through four levels of the award – supporter, innovator, champion and beacon – by making changes to enhance gender equality and ensure no child is held back by their gender.
