Why this why now
This unit deepens Year 8 pupils' understanding of diversity by focusing on faith and religion, key protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Building on Year 7 learning about respect and inclusion, pupils develop more sophisticated understanding of prejudice and discrimination based on religion or belief.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils should understand from Year 7 that everyone deserves respect and dignity, including people with protected characteristics such as religion, and that discrimination is wrong.
- Pupils should be familiar with the concept of diversity and inclusion from previous units, recognising that communities are made up of people with different backgrounds and beliefs.
- Pupils should know from earlier learning about stereotypes and prejudice, understanding that assumptions based on someone's identity or background can cause harm and should be challenged.
