I used this resource with a SEN class and it worked really well. It introduces sensitive issues in a gentle way and allows for students to consider the topics at their own pace. I would use this again.

Teacher Testing Report

I like the concept. It should generate discussion and lead to a lot of valuable reflection. I use a lot of discussion work in my lesson and find the approach in your packs suits our students. The layout is good, with not too much written work in each page.

Teacher Testing Report

A good idea. Useful in tutor time as a way of introducing sensitive issues. A very useful addition both in PSE and support group work. Less able students off as soon as they see it!
