I get this, but why is it always women who need to become engineers? Why do men not need to become childcare workers, nurses, social care workers, domestics, primary teachers…..🤷🏼‍♀️

absolutely, time focussed on what pupils are wearing is usually a complete distraction!

it’s become more of an obsession over the time I have been teaching. Used to be fairly flexible interpretation, now it’s hyper fixation on the entire dress code, which is modelled on male corporate/power attire…introduced at 4/5 years old😢

Interesting reading, but might be useful to consider that ASN has a very broad & expansive definition, so nearly all children & yp will have an ASN at some point in their school life.Much also depends what kind of educational environment we want to create & who is seen to fit in those structures.
