Why this why now
As Year 9 pupils develop a more sophisticated understanding of society and relationships, they learn about legal protections for partnerships and the progress towards LGBT equality. This unit builds on previous learning about respect and communities by examining sexual orientation as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils should understand from Key Stage 3 that everyone deserves respect regardless of protected characteristics, including sexual orientation, and discrimination is wrong.
- Pupils should know from earlier learning about stereotypes and prejudice.
