The Chartered College of Teaching is collating articles and resources that may be beneficial to teachers in talking to students about the invasion of Ukraine and the coverage of the war. This page will be updated as other resources become available. Please note, the Chartered College is not responsible for the content on these sites.

“Like many of you, I find the news of the destruction caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine deeply distressing. I was privileged to join a British Council visit to schools in Ukraine when I was a headteacher and encountered many teachers passionate about learning and supporting their students. I know that many children and young people are being affected by what they will see and have questions. Compassion, kindness and generosity – which are all the hallmarks of our profession – are needed now more than ever.”
