Stop Loan Sharks Educational Cartoon

Описание: This cartoon teaches children about the dangers of loan sharks.

The England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) have used funds confiscated from loan sharks to develop a wide range of teaching materials that educate children and young people about the dangers of loan sharks and help them to manage their money wisely to avoid being trapped in the future.

Aimed at 5 -19 year olds with tailored packs available for primary and secondary school teachers, they encourage young people to think about their needs and wants, develop an understanding of credit and sensitively look at the issues of loan sharks.

The primary school pack includes lessons about keeping money safe, and encourages children to think about where money comes from and the difference between needing and wanting. It also introduces the idea of saving and looks at issues around borrowing and lending possessions and money.

The materials contribute to a variety of curriculum areas and have The Quality Mark from Young Money (formerly pfeg).
