Fairness, Equality and Equity
Personal & Social Development · Empathy & Social Awareness · conceptual
Understand what fairness means and why it matters — recognising that fair doesn't always mean equal (everyone getting the same) but can mean equitable (everyone getting what they need), and applying this understanding in group situations
What mastery looks like
- Explain the difference between treating everyone the same and treating everyone fairly
- Give an example of a situation where equal treatment wouldn't be fair
- Apply fairness thinking when sharing resources or making group decisions
Check your understanding
If a child with a broken arm gets extra time to finish a task at school, can Fairness, Equality and Equity explain why that's fair even though other children don't get extra time?
