No-ur-rites schools education pack

Trading Standards have been looking at ways that we can support teachers and are now able to offer a free educational pack that covers consumer education, rights, responsibilities and practical consumer law advice within Key stage 4, Years 10 and 11 Citizenship/PSHE. The pack goes beyond consumer education with solvent and alcohol abuse being covered in a fun and informative way as well as helping pupils to understand where information and help can be sought.

The educational pack consists of:

• Educational CD-Rom featuring 8 games; 4 looking at issues around alcohol and solvents and 4 looking at consumer rights and Trading Standards

• Card game for Teachers and Youth Workers to use with young people to teach them more about their rights

• Lesson plan covering age restricted products

• 8 page booklet explaining young people’s consumer rights

• Promotional poster

• This pack also links in with the website www.no-ur-rites.com a website written for young people, by young people. The website discusses topics such as scams, internet shopping, phone unlocking, fake ID cards, debt advice, mobile phone safety, labelling and offers

• All the materials come with permission to copy

The pack can be used for individual pupils to use in spare time / group work and whole class activities. It can be used for varying abilities and some games may also be suitable for younger children as well. The website allows for current topics to be introduced and discussed.

If your school, or you know of a school, who would like a copy of the pack please contact us at:
