Prejudice and discrimination
Understand the impact of prejudice and discrimination on individuals and communities — that treating people unfairly because of their identity causes real harm — and describe strategies that value diversity and challenge discrimination
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Prejudice and discrimination means naming harm from prejudice/discrimination and strategies that value diversity and challenge unfair treatment. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Impact cards: individual harm / community harm
- Strategy cards: value diversity / challenge unfair treatment
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Unfair treatment because of identity causes real harm. We can value diversity and challenge discrimination with trusted adults.
Optional challenge. For Prejudice and discrimination, name value diversity and challenge unfair treatment.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: harm named; strategy chosen; support used. This session samples anti-discrimination awareness, not mastery of social justice curricula.

Check understanding
- Define prejudice and discrimination in their own words and describe the harm discrimination causes to the person experiencing it
- Explain how a specific example of discrimination (e.g. excluding someone because of their accent or religion) affects both the person and the wider community
- Describe two strategies that value diversity or challenge discrimination (e.g. including others, learning about other cultures, safely speaking up) and explain why each helps
“If your child heard about a classmate being left out because of their accent or religion, could they explain why that is unfair and harmful — and describe ways people can stand up for and include others?”
