The lesson plans have been produced to support teachers in engaging with issues around employment rights. The plan and resources in this project were produced by a group of young people who attended a series of workshops facilitated by The Equality Trust and supported by The Alex Ferry Foundation. The lessons have been trialled with several schools across the UK with a positive response from both students and teachers. The lessons are split into two subjects and give students the opportunity to explore issues surrounding their employment rights.
Discrimination
This lesson is about discrimination in the context of employment rights. It looks at protected characteristics and what you can do if you suffer discrimination at work. Suitable for years 8-10 depending on the group and mainly useful for P.S.H.E and Citizenship.
Employment Rights
The lesson plans have been produced in an effort to support teachers in engaging with issues around employment rights and could be used in the PSHE or Citizenship curricula.
