Understanding the rule of law, our justice system and human rights is key to a thriving democracy.
Founded to deliver legal education in 1989, our charity has since developed a range of immersive experiences and classroom resources to boost young people's knowledge of the law and citizenship skills. We are experts in helping children and young people of all ages engage with legal learning and understand their rights whilst building confidence and skills.
