Big Legal Lesson: introducing the law to children

Education charity Young Citizens is running a campaign, The Big Legal Lesson, from 11 to 24 March, to introduce the law and justice system to thousands of children and young people across England and Wales

It will provide teachers with free resources to start conversations about the law, rights and responsibilities, who has the power to change the law, and how these changes affect our daily lives.

It is looking for legal professionals to volunteer to deliver lessons on the law in a local school.

Sherine Krause, interim executive director of Young Citizens, said: ‘All children and young people should understand their rights, responsibilities and the rule of law.’
