This evaluation explores the impact of a two-part parent webinar series delivered in April 2026 by the Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE) in partnership with the Department of Education’s Respectful Relationships team. Designed for school council members and engaged parents across the Southern Melbourne and Bayside Peninsula areas, the webinars strengthened understanding of the Respectful Relationships in Education Initiative and the role of whole-school approaches in building gender equity. The evaluation highlights participant learning, increased awareness of school-based prevention strategies, and strengthened capacity for parent and community engagement in respectful relationships education.
