School Tasking

School Tasking is a Street Law and research project created by the University of Warwick. The project aims to introduce Year 5 students to legal concepts, and the prospect of going to University. The name of the project also gives a clue as to the theme and style of the project, which is based on the television programme Taskmaster.  

The project consists of four hour and a half sessions, the delivery pattern can be discussed with the school when planning the activity (i.e. weekly, fortnightly etc). 

 

Over the four sessions, undergraduate law students, who lead the sessions, will introduce the children to legal concepts (examples of concepts from previous years below) and bring them to life through interactive games and activities. 

  • What the Law is? 
  • Interpreting the Law 
  • Advocacy 
  • Tort Law 
  • United Convention of the Rights of the Child 

Each child will be provided with a School Tasking Workbook to help guide them through the sessions. All other resources needed for the sessions will be provided by the session leaders. 

All Queen Mary University of London undergraduate law students participating on this project will have an up to date DBS check and will be supervised where possible by a member of the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre staff (also DBS checked).
