Equality Before the Law: Is Everyone Really Treated the Same? (Teach This Topic)

This plan helps you teach the finished lesson through discussion, questioning and short activities rather than repeating its explanations. It is suitable for learners aged 11 to 16, with answers given aloud, in writing or in another accessible format. The lesson explores equality before the law, legal safeguards, discrimination, access to justice and the careful use of evidence. Encourage the learner to distinguish what evidence shows from what it merely suggests.
