Keywords
Deprivation - low standard of living caused by low income, poor health and low educational attainment, sometimes described as living in poverty
Inequality - wealth or opportunities are not equally shared
Common misconception
Pupils can make sweeping statements about people that live in places.
It is important that data is used as an average and not the characteristics of every individual. The word stereotype is useful to use in this instance.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation contains a wealth of rich data and adding comparisons to your local area could be a useful comparison. The misconception remains critical in this and the avoidance of stereotyping is paramount.
