Post-16 Citizenship QCA Guidance
The
Qualifications and Curriculum Authority have produced
guidance for post-16 citizenship called 'Play Your Part' which draws on the work of
projects that took part in the Post-16 Citizenship Development Programme. The guidance contains a framework for post-16 citizenship delivery detailing
essential learning opportunities, learning objectives and learning outcomes
alongside detailed case studies across all post-16 settings.
This is a crucial document and should be a first point of reference for anyone
involved delivering post-16 citizenship with advice on getting started,
planning provision, setting up a programme and assessment.
