Protected characteristics and discrimination PSHE / Citizenship Lesson resource looking at the Equality Act 2010 and the law around prejudice and discrimination of these groups. Pupils will get the chance to find out what the protected characteristics are, why the Equality Act came about and use scenarios to consider when and how the law might be broken. The lesson leads on to what can be done if people have not been treated in accordance with the act. We also consider positive action / discrimination.

This is an easy to follow power point lesson (no prior planning, printing or preparation required). The resource is designed to be delivered as one 60 minute lesson but all of our resources are fully editable and designed to allow sections to be added, removed or changed should you need to do so.

No previous knowledge in the subject area is needed, as the lesson is easily deliverable by someone who is not a subject specialist or experienced PSHE teachers. Lesson meets current UK PSHE guidance.
