Vivienne Porritt is one of the founders of the social equity group #WomenEd. Vivienne set us a challenge. She asked us to take a message to every man in education.

Chris Hildrew is a contributor to the WomenEd book “10% Braver”, and Headteacher at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form.

In Episode 8, Series 2 of the We Are In Beta Podcast, he shares his journey to becoming a HeForShe ally, from his early years in school to a speech he heard given by Emma Watson at the United Nations.

We learn how Chris has adopted some tips from Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In” and how he uses them in his school to promote gender equality.

Help us meet Vivienne’s challenge by sharing this episode with the people you know in education, especially the men.
