This set of materials have been designed for use with students at Key Stage 4 and equivalent. It provides an introduction to organ and tissue donation, looks at different levels of intervention to encourage people to donate, and explores the meaning of ethical values that are often used in the context of donation. It also includes case studies and links to other resources for further discussion.
The resources were produced by the Council’s Education Advisory Group.
