Prejudice and Discrimination
Understand the impact of prejudice and discrimination on individuals and communities — that treating people unfairly because of their identity causes real harm — and recognise their own responsibility to stand against it
Suggested ages 9–11
Learning journey
Your child is developing deeper understanding of fairness and diversity — learning to recognise stereotypes and bias, understanding how prejudice affects people, and appreciating the value of different cultures and perspectives.
Evidence of understanding
- Define prejudice and discrimination in their own words with examples
- Describe the emotional and social impact of discrimination on the person experiencing it
- Identify at least one action they can personally take to challenge unfair treatment
Assessment prompt
If Prejudice and Discrimination sees someone at school being excluded or teased because of their race, religion, or disability, can they explain why that's wrong and describe what they could do about it?
