Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education Future Careers In PD, students develop values which contribute positively towards their character such as resilience, determination, empathy and how to hold a respectful discussion. There is no set career pathway from studying PD, but we allow the students to think about their career and post-16 pathways in great depth. Assessment Students do not study this subject for a specific qualification; however as part of our in house quality assurance we do very short assessments at the end of each unit which not only checks for their understanding of key definitions/laws but will give them an opportunity to assess and manage risk in a scenario situation.
