Integrating Financial Literacy into your School
Time: 9:30am - 11:00am
This is a NEW FREE webinar being delivered online, and a recording will be available for up to 30 days.
Facilitators - Tom Harbour and Dr Paula Fieldhouse
Financial literacy is critically important in a rapidly changing, complex and digital world. The risks young people face are multiplying as they can spend, trade and gamble at ever younger ages on the devices in their pockets.

The gap between the knowledge, understanding and experiences of disadvantaged pupils and their more affluent peers is stark by the end of primary school.
In this session, delegates will learn the importance of financial education and its impact on young people, see the research evidence showing what is effective and learn how to evaluate resources for inclusivity and impact. The session will focus on the value of schools and parents working together.
