Criminology Guest Speaker – Zoe’s Law

On Wednesday 16 November, Charlie Panayi visited year 12 Criminology students to deliver a talk and answer questions on developing and running a campaign for change. As this is something students are asked to do for one of their main assessments, this was a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge and advice from somebody with real life experience of undertaking the task.

Charlie outlined the purpose of Zoe’s Law, a campaign that he along with other family and friends of Zoe Panayi launched to call for a change in law to make the testing of moles that have been removed compulsory.
The students were mature and engaged during the talk – asking questions around funding and methods of campaigning. Feedback from them has been overwhelmingly positive and they have very much appreciated the real life experience being discussed with them. Thank you very much to Charlie for giving his time to support our students’ understanding of this topic.
