A resource for Public Services Level 3, Unit 3 Citizenship. It can also be used for the Level 2 QCF, Unit 6 course.

What actually is identity? Are there different types of identity? How do you prove your identity? Why would you need to be able to prove your identity? This lesson looks at identifying the different types of identity within society before thinking about which type of identity you need to be able to prove. I have included some examples of identity requirements which I have downloaded from the internet (see the documents for acknowledgements) but students can research this in the lesson. The lesson finishes with a discussion about whether or not the methods currently in use are any good and whether or not they could be forged before deciding what they think should be used.

This is part of the L3 BTEC Public Services Unit 3 Citizenship unit and looks at the role of non-statutory public services in the UK. Students are given a recap about the difference between statutory and non-statutory public services before being given some levelled guided research to complete into the different non-statutory public services in the UK and their role supporting society and the statutory public services.
