The Pandemic Prevention Debate Kit was funded by The Royal Institution, UK Research and Innovation, and the Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute.

The Kit asks the question: Were all treated fairly?

The Kit was disributed from January 2022, and evaluated in July 2023.

Summary:

• We estimate that at least 262 Debate Kits have been used with students.
• 61% of teachers who reported using the Kit, had used the Kit more than once; and every teacher responding to the feedback survey reported that they intend to use the Kit again.
• Feedback from teachers who have used the Kit is consistently positive. Teachers value the ability of the Kit to stimulate discussion, and enrich curriculum teaching.
