In light of what has been going on in the world, I have been working on pulling together a PowerPoint looking at how the Black Lives Matter movement ties in with some of what we do in Psychology. There are four main sections to this presentation: accessibility of mental health services, schemas, bias in research and BAME Psychologists. Each section has information and tasks which can completed. This was aimed at my sixth form students studying A Level Psychology and was an optional resource for them to look through during lockdown.

A complete revision pack for revision of the Attachment unit in AQA Psychology A Level. For each lesson there is a slide of quick questions, a slide of key information, a slide with a past exam question, a slide with the mark scheme and a slide for essay planning. Those lessons not being assessed in 2022 are clearly marked. If you like the format of this session, please check out my ‘Forensic Psychology Revision Session’ resource.
