Unit 1 - Relationships
Unit 2 - Making a Difference
Unit 3 - My Rights
Unit 4 - The World of Work
Unit 5 - Health
Unit 6 - Taking Risks

More than lessons
Whenever possible the work covered in lessons is supplemented by further work e.g. touring theatre company performances, focus days and educational visits.
