White Ribbon Day 2025: We Speak Up
We campaign to end men’s violence against women and girls by educating men and boys on the harmful attitudes and behaviours that perpetuate misogynistic cultures.
This year the theme is: Letting sexism slide puts women and girls at risk
Along with many city, borough, town and parish councils Brancaster Parish Council is a signatory to White Ribbon, the organisation which reaches out to men to speak out when then hear or see sexism, often the pre-cursor to violence towards women and girls and to make our part of the world safe for them. This is an issue that affects all of us. A group of men were so concerned by the increasing violence towards women and men that they decided to recruit men to be ambassadors reaching out to other men and boys to safely intervene when they see and hear such violence and misogyny.

School Closure
You will have heard of the proposals to close the Village School, merging it with Docking School.
There has been much anger and discontent about this proposal across the Parish. Meetings are still ongoing looking at a way forward; though the official deadline has passed, please feel free to send your comments to DNEAT – info@dneat.org.
Council has no formal role in this – in fact we were not even informed of the proposal. However, we have agreed a comment, approved at our meeting on 5th November. This has now been sent to DNEAT (the local School Trust), with copies to MP, County and Borough Cllrs, the Secretary of State for Education, and the Bishops of Lynn and Norwich (the Board is a Diocesan one).
Also below is a copy of the comments of Norfolk County Council.
