Unit 10: Rights and responsibilities in the world of work

QCA
About this unit

In this unit, pupils learn about the changing world of work and how citizenship contributes to working life. It enhances their understanding of the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees. Pupils explore aspects of working life through enquiry, group activities and role-play, taking part in a range of activities that develop the key skills of communication and participation.

The activities in this unit may be supported through pupils' work experience, and aspects of the unit could be taught through an off-timetable event involving expert visitors from the wider community. The unit also contributes to PSHE and careers education. The final section of the unit can be used at the end of key stage 4, even if the rest of the unit is used earlier in the key stage.
