Attorney General Richard Hermer has launched free rule of law lesson plans for schools in England and Wales, produced with Oak National Academy and the Association for Citizenship Teaching.
The Attorney General and Advocate General for Scotland Catherine Smith visited Ark Blake Academy in Croydon on 2 July to mark the launch. The Government said the resources were intended to help pupils understand the legal protections, rights and responsibilities that shape civic life.
Oak National Academy is used by around three-quarters of schools in England. The Attorney General said the lessons would give teachers resources to explain the rule of law, which is identified by the Department for Education as a Fundamental British Value.
