Fair Trade & Ethics

Your child knows the things we buy are made by real people, often far away. Fair trade means those workers are paid fairly for their work.

In curriculum terms

Where products come from and who makes them; that people around the world produce what we buy; fair pay for workers; making ethical choices as consumers
