Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the significant changes that took place in post-war Britain: the establishment of the NHS and the welfare state, the growth of social democracy, the changing role of women and the experience of racism in Britain.

This unit uses and builds on any units pupils have studied in key stage 2 and 3 that concern the Second World War and its impact on Britain and her empire. It also develops pupils' knowledge and understanding of social, economic and political change in Britain that they have built in key stage 3 units about the franchise and suffrage. This unit's lesson about women and their status prepares pupils for the next unit which focuses on the position of women in British society over time.
