All of the British Values - Democracy, Rule of Law, Mutual Respect, Individual Liberty and Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs- are most clearly reflected in the following Jigsaw units:
• Being Me in My World
• Celebrating Difference
• Dreams and Goals
• Relationships
The British Value of Democracy is specifically taught in the ‘Being Me in My World’ unit. The remaining British Values are not explicitly taught, however the content of lessons, including the learning intentions, contribute to an understanding of all aspects of the five British values, and are evident across all age groups and units. Further information can be found in the document ‘British Values in Jigsaw by Lesson.’
Jigsaw Overview of the teaching of Protected Characteristics
Protected
Characteristic
Age
Gender reassignment
What this refers to
Being married or in a civil partnership
Where this is referred to, it refers to a person belonging to a particular age (for example, 32-year-olds) or range of ages (for example, 18- to 30-year olds).
The process of transitioning from one gender to another.
Where it is taught
Being pregnant or on maternity leave
Marriage is no longer restricted to a union between a man and a woman but now includes a marriage between a same-sex couple. Same-sex couples can also have their relationships legally recognised as ‘civil partnerships’. Civil partners must not be treated less favourably than married couples (except where permitted by the Equality Act).
Pregnancy is the condition of being pregnant or expecting a baby. Maternity refers to the period after the birth, and is linked to maternity leave in the employment context. In the non-work context, protection against maternity discrimination is for 26 weeks after giving birth, and this includes treating a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding.
