Tackling Discrimination

Overview

This lesson asks students to explore whether or not we have a moral or legal obligation to tackle discrimination when we see it. It can be delivered as a stand-alone session. However, we would recommend it is delivered as a follow-up to the lesson ‘An Introduction to Discrimination Law’.
