We look forward to supporting both the Attorney General's Office and the Government in their work to uphold #HumanRights and the #RuleOfLaw through robust citizenship education in schools. Thank you to our partners and volunteers for making this work a reality!

Thank you to the @AttorneyGeneral for endorsing Young Citizens in his speech earlier this week.

"I commend the work of civil society groups and charities such as Young Citizens...who work with schools to promote a better understanding of the law and its importance in society."⚖️

[Attorney General's Office @attorneygeneral]

The Attorney General, Lord Hermer KC, delivered the @BinghamCentre Lecture on the Rule of Law, a guiding principle for this Government. @BIICL

Today at 10am! Watch the @UKHouseofLords debate on updating 'fundamental British values' to 'Values of British Citizenship' - with contributions from our President, Baroness D'Souza 📺

This is more than superficial - it is a necessary shift for schools. https://t.co/F2XVecWPHW

[Young Citizens @YoungCitizensUK]

It is inspiring to see that the vast majority of communities have come together peacefully in response to the Southport attack and the extremist thuggery that followed. It proves that, together, we can practise #HopeNotHate. (7/7)

[Young Citizens @YoungCitizensUK]

We are shocked to see racist attacks on asylum seekers and Black and Brown members of our community across England and Northern Ireland. (1/7)

[Young Citizens @YoungCitizensUK]

That is why we are calling on the Government and the Department for Education to make #CitizenshipEducation a priority in the coming weeks and months. We also invite school leaders to put citizenship, PSHE and SMSC at the heart of the curriculum. (6/7)
