Essential guidance

Based carefully around the National Curriculum areas of study for Citizenship at KS3 and KS4, this handbook includes essential guidance and factual information on a range of Citizenship topics.

The handbook aims to help students learn about the world around them by exploring basic concepts such as power, fairness, social justice, democracy and diversity.

The handbook has many possible uses including as a course book, homework aid or reference source.

Questions and activities are included at the end of each chapter. These can be used as the basis for discussion, debate or research and students can work individually or in groups. The list of Web sites at the back of the handbook is intended as a starting point for research work. A glossary is also provided.
