Abstract

The knowledge and understanding element of the citizenship curriculum contains the following strand: (KS4) 1. Pupils should be taught about: the rights and responsibilities of consumers, employers and employees This resource is aimed at helping non-specialist teachers to deliver the specialist area of consumer rights and responsibilities to key stage 4 students. Ideally the consumer strand of citizenship would be taught by a specialist in consumer education. However, this will not always be the case, and many teachers will need support and dedicated resources to help deliver this important element of Citizenship. Consumer education itself has a chequered history in British schools. It has existed in many guises, but has almost disappeared in recent years. The introduction of citizenship education should go some way to ensuring that consumer education is placed firmly on the educational map.
