Creating a values and ethics curriculum
Compassion Matters is an educational outreach project that shares and develops learning resources with schools and education charities to enable the teaching of values and secular ethics. Our resources equip children to think critically about ethical issues leading to a positive impact on the children’s social-emotional learning, mental well-being and academic attainment.
We are focused on supporting children to see that compassion and its related values are the key not only to a happier, more harmonious society but also to individual well-being.
Over 90 schools we have engaged with since September 2018
30 hours of resources developed so far with more to come
2000 children participating in the UK and internationally
