This is the first of three titles for Key Stage 3 that introduces young people to the rights and responsibilities of Citizenship. "Understanding Citizenship" is a progressive course that builds on the interests of young people and features topical case studies, themes and issues. Published in association with the Citizenship Foundation (a leading body for the promotion of Citizenship education) the text charts children's rights, bullying, rascism, schools, parenting, keeping safe and part-time work. The course is designed to stimulate critical thinking skills of discussion and enquiry, and provides a sound basis for class discussions, project work and wider activities in school and the local community.
