Why not have a class discussion about fairness and inequality? Haringey’s Fairness Commission wants to hear from children and young people across the borough. They are inviting primary and secondary schools and colleges across Haringey to download the Schools Toolkit, which can be used to guide classroom-based activities with pupils stimulating discussions on the topic of fairness and inequality.
The Schools Toolkit contains a separate activity pack for primary and secondary school students, with a range of activities and a conversation guide to help students explore the topic at the right level for them. We have also created a teachers’ support pack, which provides teachers with background on the Commission, additional guidance on potential activities, and tips on how to get the most out of class conversations about fairness and inequality. Finally, we have included a feedback form, to help you report back to the Commission about what students have said.
If you would like a commissioner or officer to come along to your discussion, please also let us know. While we will not be able to attend all groups, we will try to get someone to come along to hear directly from your students if we can.
Each part of the toolkit can be downloaded below. Alternatively, if you need them in a different format please contact Haringey’s Fairness Commission by email, fairness@haringey.gov.uk, or by post to Haringey Fairness Commission, c/o the Policy Team, Haringey Council, River Park House, 225 High Road, Wood Green, N22 8HQ.
Please send a summary of your discussion by 15 February 2019.
