Citizenship - A Workshop on Whistleblowing
Introduction
Public Concern at Work (PCaW) is the UK’s leading authority on public interest whistleblowing. Recognising that it is important to raise awareness of this subject amongst young people, we have developed teaching materials for a workshop on whistleblowing, which we successfully piloted in schools in 2007. By reference to various situations, students are encouraged to discuss
- the issue of speaking out when the interests of other people are at risk;
- the reasons why people might choose not to speak up;
- and our responsibilities towards one another in all areas of life.
The current release of materials is for Key Stage 3. In 2008, having reviewed the feedback we receive on this workshop, we will release materials for Key Stage 4.
The Key Stage 3 materials can now be downloaded here, on the right.
We need your help to improve our services and so would be grateful to receive your feedback and that of your students on the whistleblowing workshop. Please email us at schools@pcaw.co.uk.
