Ascent Prevention The partners in the Ascent Prevention strand are: Women's Resource Centre (Lead Partner) FORWARD IMECE IKWRO JWA LAWRS Our approach is in line with Ofsted’s Review of Sexual Abuse in Schools (2021) which recommends a whole school approach. The whole school approach works with your setting to support your Relationships, Sex and Health Education curriculum. Our Partnership aims to empower professionals and young people to develop awareness and behaviours that embed the importance of healthy relationships and tackle attitudes and beliefs that cause violence and abuse. We focus on safeguarding, capacity building and learning. Our delivery is needs-based and aims to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence among children and young people. It recognises that all children and young people are at risk of abuse. The Partnership responds to the need for early engagement of boys and young men in order to challenge ideas and behaviours that lead to violence and abuse.
