White Ribbon Steering Group sets ambitious goals for 2024
The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) White Ribbon Steering Group convened to evaluate the outcomes of White Ribbon’s recent #ChangeTheStory webinar and plan for the year ahead. The meeting addressed key issues including the group’s membership expansion and year two priorities.
The #ChangeTheStory webinar, tailored for accredited organisations, underscored the imperative to prioritise violence against women and girls. It also advised the establishment and review of domestic abuse policies and highlighted the essential traits of effective male allies.
A significant portion of the meeting focused on expanding the group’s membership to achieve broader geographical representation and engage more councillors.
The Steering Group also reviewed progress on its action plan, particularly year two priorities which include staff training for NALC, development of a comprehensive toolkit, and the organisation of a webinar.
The next meeting of the White Ribbon Steering Group is anticipated to take place in early September.
